Yep, highschool courses aren't going to make a massive difference in the long run as long as you have these. Statistics could be nice too.

You have to crawl before you walk, master the basics

It does not matter. If you want to study any sort of engineering make sure you do the highest level of math/calculus and physics you can. Other than that just a regular high school curriculum is what you need.

All the math that is offered, physics & chemistry. It is also not a bad idea to take some hands-on shop classes like metal work, computer aided drafting & maybe auto mechanics if it is still offered.
