Hi there,
Looking back, the best memory I have back in high school is friends that I made. Don't focus too much on how best to manage the time for college (?) or future but enjoy the time you have in the community.
It would probably be good to provide more context to your question for more specific answers.

I agree with Andi Sanden's answer to a large degree. Two significant things that were left out are time with friends and family, and some time for yourself. The most important things to you should be prioritized high on the list. When you first come home from school and on the weekend give yourself some time for fun. Hopefully, schoolwork and studying are at or near the top of your list. Make sure that you give yourself time to do those things every school night (or afternoon) and on weekends if needed, for example if you have a test coming up or assignment that you're working on/due. Also, if you're struggling in a class or classes give more time to studying and less to other things (but still take some time for other things).
Determine when you want to study and do schoolwork (before or after dinner)
Figure out how much time you will need for each of these on school nights and at least one day per weekend
Start a schedule with the studying as the first items
Add time for fun and being alone
Check that this looks realistic before implementing it. Modify as needed.

Make sure you're keeping a calendar that shows when you have activites, work, or other engagements.
In addition, print out a one week schedule and mark off times that always the same: school, work, practice, chores, sleep, etc.
Any times that aren't already blocked off, give them a "job". If you have 5 open hours on Monday nights, maybe you say 2 of those hours are for homework, 1 is for dinner and relaxing, and the other 2 are for working on the long-term project you have. Do that for any open block for the entire week.
And stick to it! Think of your time blocks as appointments. If you are supposed to work on your project from 6-8, that's the priority, and you maybe put your phone in another room, turn off the tv, or go to the library to work.
Make sure you are in charge of your time and the distractions aren't taking over.

Someone else asked the same question earlier.
Please follow following guidelines:
1) Social Media FB TikTok or Instagram can wait. It is a waste of time when you are building your life and career.
2) Prioritize your tasks in 3 buckets 1) must be done 2) need to get it done 3) do not do anything in this category until 1) and 2) are completed.
3) Time is precious - watching football or basketball or any sports can be watched via highlights on Youtube. No need to waste 3 hours when you have other priorities.

Thank you for sharing. This is the challenge a lot of people may face.
Below are my suggestions:
1. Identify a time management tool, e.g. your phone calendar, Microsoft Outlook, etc.
2. Put in your school time everyday and any activities that the time is fixed, ie you cannot change the time.
3. Assign some time everyday for your assignment/project and revision. Better do revision every day rather then just before assessment or exam
4. Reserve sufficient time for rest. Make sure you have enough sleep everyday
5. You can assign the remaining time for you leisure & exercise, .e.g. friends & family gathering, sports, your hobbies, etc.
You do not need to fill up your entire schedule. Leave some time for relax or keep some 'me' time for reflection.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
