Hey Adonis - Good question!
The best way to manage your time is the one that works for you. You can Google some strategies but you could try something like:
Monday
6 - 6.30 AM - Eat breakfast
6.30 - 7 AM - Get ready for school
4 - 5 PM - Finish History HW
5 - 6 PM - Finish Math HW
6 - 7 PM - Dinner / TV
7 - 8 PM - Finish History HW
8 - 9 PM - Video-games or TV
9 PM - Get ready for bed
Tuesday
6 - 6.30 AM - Eat breakfast
6.30 - 7 AM - Get ready for school
4 - 5 PM - Hangout with friends
5 - 6 PM - Go to the gym
6 - 7 PM - Dinner / TV
7 - 8 PM - Finish Science HW
8 - 9 PM - Finish English HW
9 PM - Get ready for bed
You can always adjust this as needed to reduce the time each activity takes or lengthen one. The main thing is to block out time slots and stick to it. If you need more time, you can push it off to the next day or if you finish something sooner you can take more time then.
For internships, depends what you want to do. "Good" is typically anything that has you doing tasks related to what kind of job you want after/during college.
For example, if you want to go into accounting any internship where you work in MS excel or accounting software would be "good".
You can also look into volunteering which would give you good experience and look great on the resume. Volunteermatch is a great place to start.
Typically on a company's website will be a Career page where you can fill out information to try and get an internship. Glassdoor or Indeed could be good ways to find internships. If you can't find a Career page, you can try to find a general email address to each out to. If a VP or senior executive or someone with a big title has their email, you can try reaching out to them. They typically have hiring capabilities.
Hope this helps!

Focus on the classes that are relevant to future you want. I see from your tags that you're interested in IT and Engineering. So classes like math, computer science, physics, etc. will teach you relevant knowledge. Classes like art, history, etc. will not. So to answer your question "How do I manage my time?" I say put *just enough time and effort* into the irrelevant classes to pass them (don't fail any as not having a HS diploma is a red flag for college and employers), and *put most of your time and energy into the classes that will actually benefit you* and help you build your future.
For internship opportunities, you could ask your HS counselors, but if they're anything like mine were, that won't get you anything. Instead, schedule appointments with career counselors at colleges and universities. These are the people that would have a better insight into internships because companies who are interested in interns are going to reach out to post secondary institutions, not high schools, because it'll net them fewer, higher quality applicants to filter through. You may not get an internship right away but at least you'd gain knowledge of the path forward to them early on and be ahead of the game.

Thanks for the question. The best ways to manage your time in school are:
1. Create a Daily Journal with Initial Schedule .
2. Attempt to follow it sincerely for a week.
3. After week, see where you are succeeding and failing: Do a root cause analysis
4. Change the schedule based on 1,2, 3
5. Use quantitative metrics (say, marks scored, miles ran, no of. successful events) to work on 1,2,3,4
6. Converge to a specific routine and iterate.
