High Schooler wanting to break into IB

I am currently a Junior in high school who wants to break into IB.  I have very strong grades and a 4.6 GPA. I am enrolled in many AP (Advanced Placement) classes and am a member of NBHS (National Business Honors Society) and FBLA (Future Business Leaders Of America). Overall, I am a very strong student and have loved finance my whole life. The high school I attended is a public high school in a great township outside of the Philadelphia area. Overall, I want to know the best things I can do as a high schooler to set myself up to hopefully become an investment banking analyst in the future and to set myself up with a good foundation, as I have always loved finance my whole life. Thanks.
