definitely "When I was in high school"

"I" is taken as singular so we use "was" but when the sentence starts with "If" like in "If I were a princess" then we use "were" instead of "was". I hope this helps.

please could tell me the difference between : toward = towards ; among = amongest ; while = whilest,
thank you in advance for your help

.
toward = towards ; among = amongst ; while = whilst. All of these are basically just variant pairs.
