You need to focus on the basics: math, english, science, and learning to spell and use words properly would be a good idea. If you're still in HS, you still have plenty of time, but it's "pertaining"... just for future reference. College admission boards tend to look at SAT and ACT scores and certainly are concerned with your writing ability when/if they require an essay as part of their admissions process. This isn't intended as criticism, but if you're serious about college you should start now to work on the issues that will help you when you get there. Many college professors are intolerant of spelling errors, no matter the subject. Good luck, and I sincerely wish you the best.
There are some students that excel in certain subject areas and as such outclass what high schools can offer them particular to that subject. In this case, I believe the high school should not inhibit the students learning abilities, and allow them to take some college coursework within structured guidelines. There are colleges, universities, and high schools that work in a collaborative effort to do just that. Some schools refer them as head start, or bridge programs where high school students have the opportunity to take some college coursework provided the student meets certain requirements. Typically, these requirements may include the following.
== Yes, they should. It would prepare them for any required foreign languages courses in high school and college.
Some college have bridge programs that allow some qualified high school students to take some courses.
High school courses don't matter, none of them will count in college.

High School is not too important, but you should take college prep type courses. Coroners normally have a medical degree, so you need good college grades to get into medical school.
Assuming by college you mean university, yes. Many universities have advanced courses for secondary/high school students, particularly in the areas of maths and sciences.
There are some colleges and universities that will allow some high school students to take courses at their school. There are programs sometimes referred to a bridge programs. The student would need the high schools permission. These programs are typically designed for junior and senior high school students with at least a B average.
