I am wondering if it's OK to simply insert the name of the school in the sentence
without messing up the structural integrity of the sentence

as in "I am a junior in JFK High School."

or should something else be changed along with the insertion of the name, say, the preposition?

Thanks

In American usage, a person is always a student 'at' a certain high school.

"I'm a student at JFK."

"I'm a freshman at Kennedy."

When it comes to leaving a high school, one is always 'from' that institution.

"I graduated from JFK in 08."

"I'm from Kennedy, class of 07."
