Networking In Highschool

I have been accepted to a decent, semi-target school (depending on who you ask) and plan on going there for finance. It is my goal to hopefully land an internship during my freshman year/ the summer after. Is there any advice anyone could give me on how to market myself, how to network as a freshman, or any skills to learn to even have a shot at an interview while competing against upperclassmen from better schools?
