Do you still list education on resume?

Question

I finished high school in the late 90s.
I didn’t go to university, I started working straight after.
Im applying for a new job. Do I need to put what high school I attended?

I am 58 and you bet I do. It's important.
Why?
Because if a company is going for ISO-9000 certification (related to quality), they need to show personnel records to the auditor doing the certification. These records need to convince the auditor that the people doing the work are qualified. One way of doing that is by showing any copies of education diplomas or transcripts or, in a pinch, a résumé. The résumé typically convinces someone to hire you, but your subsequent transcripts they want a copy of for auditing purposes.

You may not need your high school at this point, but I don't see a problem with it, per se. HOWEVER, if you are afraid of ageism, then you might want to hold off because putting the year you graduated from high school on a résumé de facto tells someone how old you are.

Yes, but every time I'm looking for a new job I take an online course or two to add to the list.
