i really want to be a doctor. Well a surgeon. or however you spell it. I was wondering what classes you might have to take in highschool. What are some good colleges? I know i am only 15 but i want to get involved now because i really want to be a doctor. I am volunteering at a local hospital . That might help me get into a good medical school. But can you just help me find out what i need to do.

That's cool. Just take as many Biology and Chemistry classes as you can. My fiance majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry in college, which is what he needed to do to get into med school. (Or you could major in Chemistry and minor in Biology, just ask you college adviser).
Also med schools love to see volunteer work on an application. If you can keep in contact with a few of the doctors once you start college, they might give you a good letter of recommendation. Also volunteer once you are in college.
Once in college start studding for the MCAT as soon as possible!
Good luck

Not in high school... in college, and get a doctor degree in medical field...
Unless of course you are me DreamDoc, then you don't need one :)
