What to focus on to get ahead in Highschool?

Hi all - 

I know there's recently been a big boom in high school students looking to get a career in finance, and I've been looking at some ways I can try and get ahead now. 

For reference, I am Canadian, I have a 4.0 GPA, currently in one AP class (macroeconomics), and I have 3 past job experiences, and I'm 15. Are there programs/internships you'd recommend me to pursue?
