Freshman in High School, I Want to Be a Psychologist?

Question by : Freshman in high school, I want to be a psychologist?
So I just started my freshman year at a vocational school in Massachusetts. I really really really want to be a psychologist when I grow up. So the first step to achieving my goal would be to pick the right shop for my high school career. But I don’t know what one to chose. My school does offer a psychology class as an elective, but I can’t take it until senior year. The actual shops that I’m considering the most so far are
Health Occupations, because it focuses on general medical. but I don’t know how relevant it would be to psychology. But it would be good background at least, right?
Child Education, because I would be working with actual people, learning how they learn. but that shop focuses on children up to only 7 years old. I want to work with teens and young adults, issues like drug addiction, you know, all the juicy stuff. (lol)
