Yes. It is important that you do this as soon as possible. Once you turn 18 you will no longer be able to do this easily. You will probably have to go back to your country at some point in the process. Applying now will ensure that you are not banned from returning to the US for 5 or 10 years. Even if you do not get a visa by the time you're 18, you must leave in order to avoid this bar. You'll have a 180 day grace period after turning 18.

Speak to an immigration attorney. People have regularlized their status in such cases, but people have also been deported mid process. You need expert advice.
Cora may be onto something. You could apply for an education visa (those are given to foreigners not even here) and then apply to adjust status while in school or go for an h1b on graduation.

if you came in illegally and have been taking advantage of the free education in this country then so be it be thankful and then go back where you came from and good luck to you. it does not matter whether you have a perfect grade in school the ends does not justify the means, and if other people feels bad for you and will say that we need people like you to stay here because you are a good person and good student then bring them with you also.!

Not if you came here illegally,go back to Mexico and be an example of what an education can do for someone.

You can apply for an educational visa to finish school.
You can also apply for temporary or permanent resident status.

If you came here illegally, then you need to go back where you came from. Be grateful for the free education you've gotten and put it to good use in your homeland. You're welcome, and see ya'!
