<p>Mostly colleges look activities and such for high school, but if you had significant things such as winning state championships in middle school... can you still list that in your resume?</p>

<p>Do you have to provide dates or in my resume I just could go...? </p>

<p>Middle School accomplishments:
*Accomplishment one- elaboration
*accomplishment two- elaboration
and so on.... </p>

<p>Or list approximate years?
2006- accomplishment
2005- Accomplishment</p>

<p>Generally not a good idea to go so far back. Don’t do it unless you have nothing else - it’s too far back for colleges to care. That said…list years.</p>
