Long story short he pulled me over for exceeding 100mph limit (101) and gave me a ticket with a mandatory appearance in court.
Is there a chance that Judge will allow me to take traffic school to get rid of the points on the license? (even though that going over 100mph adds up 2 points without a possibility to correct violation?)
How should I approach judge in this situation? What should I say? This is the first time I was ever pulled over in the US and I feel very stressed.
Help please.

Man! Talking about hijacking the dude's thread! The first thing you need to do is find out exactly what the punishment is for 101 in a 70. That's an automatic suspension here. Then I would contact an attorney that specializes in traffic violations, in the jurisdiction where you got the ticket. I got one in Las Vegas a few years ago for 80 in a 45 and I contacted a local Las Vegas traffic attorney. He got it reduced to a non-moving violation. I still had to pay a small fine and by the time I paid the attorney, it ended up costing more than just paying the original fine. But it didn't go on my driving record and my insurance didn't get jacked up, so it was still a good deal.
