the subject depends on the school, but basic subjects like math, science, national language, english, geography, history etc is a must.
i used to attend a technical high school in Nagano (国立長野工業高等専門学校), and because it is a technical high school; history, biology and home-ed is not very focused.
we focus more on subjects like probability & statistics, add. math, system control, electric & electronics, basic programming, IT, robotics, CAD design, engineering ethics etc.
and we also have extra-curricular activities just like any other normal high school, and we also join them when there is a national competition like soccer, volleyball, robot competition, brass band etc. i joined the tennis club, english communication club and cultural exchange circle (well this one i was actually forced to join, just because i'm a foreign student, but it was cool).
the schedule is quite packed.
basically i went to school 5 days a week from monday to friday and class starts from 7:50 to 16:00. lunch break is 50 minutes and one subject is 90 minutes each, with a 10 minutes break between them.
i don't know about American high schools, but I guess this kind of schedule is quite normal compared to other countries.
[NOTE]
What I meant by Technical High School here is the National College Of Technology
