I went to a technical high school where you got to learn a trade and academics on alternating weeks. I went because one of the trade shops was computer programming/repair.
They gave us access to a dialup Internet server at University of Massachusetts, but it wasn't TCP/IP, it just dropped you into a purely text based Linux terminal. My first web access was using Lynx through that, but I can't remember what the first page I would have used. Probably Archie, since the only thing it was useful for(to me at least) at that point was finding files to download via gopher.
