Know the requirements for athletic eligibility, graduation requirements, GPA, class rank. Know when things are due and turn them in on time!
If you are struggling, ask the teacher for assistance. Other assistance can be found by attending Study Tables on Wednesday after school, peer tutoring, or adult tutors. Use your free time throughout the day wisely.
You do not need to know what you are going to do for the rest of your life in high school, but you should begin narrowing down your options. Take advantage of talking to people in fields that you are interested in pursuing. This will help inform your choices when selecting courses and colleges.
