You'd put 2007-present for your "time spent" at the school (or whatever year you entered as a freshman). Some people choose to put their class rank, but you don't have to. If you're at a vocational school or something similar, put your major/shop underneath the school. Otherwise you can put the school, the time period, and the location [ex, Boston, Massachusetts] just like you would a job. When you're in high school, and even college, being a student is like having a job because of the time commitment. Also I put activities in which I had a leadership role under this column, as it was so important during my school years.
You can put anything volunteer on there. My resume had the headline "Work and Volunteer Experience" so everything fit on there. Remember to put them in reverse chronological order (most recent at the top!)
Having the experience section be short isn't a dealbreaker. Especially if it's a grocery store. They KNOW it's you're first/second real job ever and aren't expecting someone with years of expertise. Doesn't take that much to bag groceries ;]
Use a normal font for everything. It doesn't have to be Times New Roman, I like Arial Narrow - and it fits more stuff on a page. When you make the header, though, make it stand out a bit. It looks nifty, haha
Lastly, make sure someone else proofreads your resume. Preferably two people. I find mistakes in published novels, yet I missed at least four on my first draft. Also, browse through my answers on here. You'll find more than a few typos that I missed :]
