Do you mean all high school players play "mixed" regardless of grade level?

I sign the score sheet as the Umpire (Or Second Ref.) I only call Traveling, Double Dribble, Back and over (Return to the back court). The others i call if the lead ref does not see them.
I do not officiate Jump Ball's But i do officiate Free Throws. I play the opposite side from the score table although i do know how to read the score sheet i am more comfortable not doing so.

Do basketball officials up there work sort of like hockey officials, with the referee responsible for calling fouls and the umpire acting like a linesman and only calling violations (yeah - I know hockey has recently changed that somewhat)? Is that why you only mention calling violations? If that's the case, why don't you call all of them, then? As to reading the scorebook, the best advice I can give you is to learn to read upside down.
Lastly, what province are you in? I thought one (Ontario) uses NF rules and the rest have switched from FEEBLE (FIBA) to a modified NCAA system.
