It's not something I've seen much of. Citing Dean's List or similar accomplishments on your resume can be a boon, if you've got it, but specific GPA? Not so much. The fact that the listing your brother was looking at wanted his high school GPA is pretty ridiculous, given that after four years of college and 5+ years of experience, that was a decade ago and therefore far too old to be reflective of anything.

I have seen several employers ask for high school GPA but they obviously don't hire on it. It is more of a test of your documentation skill than anything - leaving it blank would be more of a mark against you than if you put down a low GPA. I mean, it is theoretically possible there's some employer out there gathering a "Peaked in High School" task force or something, but the idea is too absurd to think it is widespread.
