books in HS (or the local equivalent)

So a couple discussions I've stumbled across recently got me curious about this--in your high school (or equivalent schooling that covers the mid-teens) English class(es)*, what books did you read, and about what year was it? Also, what kind of school did you go to? (Public/private/religious if you're in the U.S., any special programs, single-gender, etc.) Oh, and the city or region you were living in at the time, if you don't mind sharing. I'm very curious about the current state of the high school canon and how it's been evolving.

*poll only for people who took literature classes in English, since it is to satisfy my curiosity and I...don't know pretty much any non-English literature by name/reputation. Although I would be interested to hear about how the secondary-level education canon is or isn't shifting in other countries.

Sudden craving for Jacques Torres that I can't satisfy until mid-May, you are seriously harshing my late-night cheapass drugstore candy run buzz >:( Dear high-end chocolatiers: PLEASE come to Houston, I promise we have a ridiculously large population of rich people here just like in Vegas or Manhattan. Well, maybe not quite to that extent. But enough to justify a Jacques Torres or Neuhaus or Vosges store for sure.

Thanks to everyone for answering my questions about high school reading in the last post! I'm reading them all with great interest, and later this week when I have a little more time I will attempt to ~analyze the data.~ Do feel free to keep answering if you want.
