Your school should not be giving open kinetic free weight training. It can damage your epiphyseal growth plates and make you limbs shorter forever.
Wait until you're fully grown.

I'd say around 80 lbs if you're never done it before.
A couple tips:
-keep a wide grip, its easier.
-breath in while lowering the bar, exhale when pushing up.
-keep your back flat on the bench, arching your back isnt good for it and defeats the point of working your pecs.
Hope that helps.

I hope that your school provide a trainer. You should not try to lift no more than 5 pounds maybe 8.
