As a high school student, are there any opportunities in investment banking such as summer internships or similar jobs to that for high school students?

The amount of posts like this is getting annoying.
Just get laid, drink, and kill it when you get to college.
Hangout with your friends. Stop wasting time worrying about this, you'll regret it if you don't.
I found one program called "Bank of America Student Leaders". It seems that their applications are closed right now, but it's definitely worth checking out for the next recruiting cycle.
Additionally, if you are open to other internships as well, check out MIT's Research Science Institute. I have a friend who interned there a few years ago, and he's coasting at Harvard right now. It's pretty much one of the best ways to get on an admissions officer's good side due to the extremely competitive process used to filter candidates. Be warned, however, the acceptance rate for their internships is roughly 10% based on what he said.
I did one high school internship that had nothing to do with business--got it by placing in a neuroscience competition of all things lol. If you're interested in biology, you could help out a professor with his/her research and try to leverage that later on when you're interviewing with a banker who happens to be in healthcare investment banking. If this is something you're intersted in--look at the Brain Bee competition. Local and national finalists definitely get a lot of looks for neuroscience internships.
Lastly, consider cold-emailing professionals in boutique investment banks--you never know who could need some extra help in the office. Consider saying that you will be willing to work for free to maximize your chances of landing the internship offer. Good luck :)
Agreed to everything said above^. I believe Harvard and Stanford and other top-tier schools have summer programs that would look great towards college admissions. Also, if ur a NYC resident and/or will be attending school in NYC, you should apply for JPMorgans Smart Program. Application usually comes out for hs seniors due March. Something to think about for next year if ur not graduating hs yet
