Unique Situation for IB Internship - Seeking Advice

Hello All,
I am currently entering my second year of college (but am a junior in standing) at a semi-target/regional target and just completed my internship at a regional MM firm in the private client group retail side of the business. I was very lucky to get in after my freshman year and have made a ton of great connections. Recently, I had a great meeting with a Senior VP in investment banking and he asked me to send him my resume to be considered for internships next summer. I have considerable campus involvement on my resume from my first year and a 3.96 GPA, but I also still have notable high school achievements (ex: Class President) listed. I want to show that I am a leader and am wondering if I should keep this on my resume as I only have 1 year worth of college to show for. Would this cause me to be taken less seriously? Thoughts?

MM internship, 3.96 GPA, and school name; that's all you need for now. Everything else is extra. You can put it, but no one really cares.
