By high school, I think you're ready to explore the things you already know you might be interested in. Much more so than what high schools typically have on offer. I was bored out of my mind for my first two years of high school. I went to a HS at a community college for the second two, and it made a world of difference. We had English and History classes taught by HS teachers, but for all our other credits we had the whole college's course list to choose from. Being able to choose makes learning so much more engaging.
