HS, huh? Good, good, you have a lot of time to get experience.
A lot of schools nowadays have student senates or governments. Most of these are understated parodies. Try finding something that you want to fix and marshalling people to help you fix it. If you can push something through, then you've got something more than the average politician. If you fail, consider it a lesson learned (and make sure you do learn something).
Oh, and the term "statesman" comes to mind.
