As a High School Student, put education first before experience. Be sure to highlight your shop area under education. 

Experience can include volunteer positions, special projects and of course, any employment.

When describing experience, bullet point responsibilities and skills that you have to perform that responsibility. Use resume ACTION verbs.

Try not to be too "wordy";  be short and concise and be very careful with spelling and grammar.
