Purdue Writing Lab

​

This is the 'go-to' site for all things APA.  It is an excellent resource when you have a question, or when you would like to look at sample papers. 

 

It is a little bit 'more' than you need for high school papers, however it won't be long before you need a dependable resource for post-secondary papers!
