Critique my resume

Time to get my resume up to par and apply for a few positions that I'm interested in. I'm eager to get some non bias criticism. I need to fix the formatting with my "Various roles within Operations" because it wants to indent itself when I set the date range to align text right.

Also, as your fixing the margins, I would add some accomplishments to the "Various roles within Operations" section as it looks unbalanced with the other position.
There is a horizontal line below the last position, is that meant to be there?
I might drop the high school diploma bit, but leave in the "Member of STLP ..." and add something like
"Member of STLP (Student Technology Leadership Program) - XYZ High School"
Maybe add you scheduled exam date for the RHCSA as opposed to "pursuing." Something like, "Red Hat Certified Systems Admin. exam scheduled May 23, 2012"
Look for consistency within your writing. Things like naming one certification by full name and the other by abbreviation need to changed to be made consistent.
"Comptia Security+, 2010
Pursuing RHCSA, 2012 "
