Basically the sole purpose of high school is to get into a good college... Don\'t really focus on computer classes (unless you have a lot of free space) until college, you will have plenty of time there. Just pound down all the classes that you are required to freshman year of college, so you can test out and get to the fun stuff right away in college and maybe even graduate early.
And, by the way, there is a lot of math and science in technology. Math ranges from matricies to more complex vectors and things like that; however, it depends, if you use GUI apps for everything and do no engine work, then you may not need a lot of math.
Check out game programming as a career... It is one of the most admired in the computer industry. It incorporates everything: physics, art, math, science, architecture, social sciences, and a lot more. And it is ofcoarse a fun job
You have a lot of freedom, but you work under deadline pressure often. And, the field is very very competitive...
