Default Re: high school

at high schools: place
Meaning, he teaches at more than one high school

at high school: place
The meaning is awkward. Try,

Ex: My father is a substitute teacher who teaches high school.

Meaning, he teaches high school subjects at either one or more than one high school.

All the best.
