I included high school stuff on my application but not everything. I wouldn't include the vice president of the chem club thing, only health-related experiences. For example, although I helped plant trees for community service during my senior year in high school I didn't put that down but I did include my volunteering at a marathon/fund raiser for cancer research. I didn't work for first-aid or nothing; I only helped watch kids while their parents ran the marathon. That would be as far as I would stretch it but I doubt anyone cares what you put down as long as you don't make any grammatical errors. I was invited to every school I applied to and none of my high school stuff came up during the interviews. Good luck!
