Abstract: It was the purpose of this study to determine if any differences exist in the values of high school seniors according to sex and type of high school in Raleigh, North Carolina. Other studies concerning the values of high school students indicated that values varied according to sex and the type of high school attended. These studies were done in other geographical locations. The Allport-Vemon-Lindzey Study of Values was given to high school seniors of both sexes. The subjects were males and females enrolled in a public high school, a Roman Catholic high school and females in a protestant high school. All schools were located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The six values used in the Study of Values are the theoretical, economic, social, aesthetic, political and religious. The means and standard deviations were found for each value for each group according to sex and type of high school attended. The ranges in scores were noted.
