I also did this in HS, and echo what others are saying about this paying off later in life. Four years from now, when you're a junior in college and are scrambling to parallelize the build for your homework due next class, you'll be thankful for the upfront investment ;-). Also, having a LaTeX formatted resume never hurt either. The one problem I always had was essays. I'd always write essays as plain text, but didn't have a great MLA template ready for LaTeX, so I'd usually just copy/paste my plain text doc into OpenOffice or GDocs. I still sort of wish that I had figured out a better solution for this workflow.
