High school graduates applying for a first job always find it challenging to write cover letters and resumes as they do not have much to boast of.
The best thing to do in a situation like this is to focus on what you can do as opposed to what you have done.
Have a look at this cover letter sample which will give you a better idea:

Ms. Courtney Bell
Manager HR
Alpha Hues

Dear Ms. Bell:
I graduated from Green Bay House School in December last year and would now like to explore my vocation before I join a formal college. I saw your advertisement for the position of a Secretary at Alpha Hues and would like to offer my services for it. Because I am an extremely enthusiastic individual with a demonstrated ability to work in an organized manner, I am confident that I can become a valuable asset to your company.
As indicated in the enclosed resume, I have worked as a volunteer at the school admission office for three years in a row which has instilled in me the knowledge of office procedures and protocols. As I possess the ability to multitask, I can manage a multitude of work without compromising on quality or deadlines. My interest and exposure to the Internet are such that I am comfortable with managing research projects. Additionally, I am familiar to use most office equipment and filing methods used in an official capacity.
With great enthusiasm and creative mind, I am very excited at the possibility of acquiring my first real job at Alpha Hues. I will call you at the end of the week to ask for an interview and will be available at (000) 555-5555 if you need to contact me.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
(Signature)
Sally Field
