There is a wide range of books, dependent on your preferences for reading material.
After consulting my personal library, I found a few that should catch your attention.

For dramas, you could read Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility. Another good drama is The Scarlet Letter.

For a more nostalgic read, try The Secret Life of Bees, and The Five People You Meet in Heaven.

For an interesting life story, try Alicia My Story, as story about a young woman trying to survive in Nazi Gernmany as a child(quite intense and better than Anne Frank)

For a love story gone awry, try The Great Gatsby, pretty good and surprising end!

For another adventure, try Lord of the Flies.

If you are into symbolism in books, try The Great Divorce, 1984, Brave New World, or Fahrnenhiet 451.

For darker stories, anything by Edgar Allen Poe would be good.

For stories about family and how life is, try The Joy Luck Club (written before the movie), Pigs in Heaven, and The Kitchen God's Wife.

If you like poetry, look at anything of Emily Dickens, those are really nice, or try Langston Hughes.

For horror, try The Shining, The Ametyville Horror, or The Exorcist. (all written before the movies, and MUCH, MUCH scarier!)

For fantasy, well, I really don't concern myself with those, but you get the gist that there is good reading found anywhere. You just have to look.

It is also good to try to branch out, try genres you haven't tried before. That is what helped me...truly, try it!

Ok, it's not highschool, but it's fantacy and for girl teens. Try Tamora Pierce's writing (starting with "Alanna: The First Adventure" in the Song of the Lioness Quartet.) Also, I'm told that the book "The Admazing Adventures of Fanboy and Gothgirl" is good too, but I've yet to read it.
