as far as the monologue I would like to do one from Romeo and Juliet or mabye Hairspray . Any suggestions? other monologue selections are welcome. Mabye one from Diary of Anne Frank the play? as far as the song, I dont have that good a range and I sing a kind of alto range. I was thinking of doing a whole new world by aladdin, desperado by the eagles, ode to billie jo by bobbie gentry or possibly something to talk about by bonnie raitt. I think i need a song that is a kind of balladic, lower octave song that i can add some emotion to . Any other song or monologue suggestions?

Out of those i think that the Diary of Anne Frank monologue and a Hairspray song would work. However, if I were you I would try to find the best possible song for your voice... a wrong song can make your audition go all wrong.
Depending on the show you may or may not want to do a Disney song. Think of the type of musical it is and choose a song from another play that is similar. Always do a song from another musical never from the radio.
T
he monologue can be comedic or dramatic, it just depends on what you think your director would prefer.
High schools are a lot more flexible than other places so I'm sure you'll be fine either way.
Break a leg :)

As far as audition songs are concerned there are loads of good "Audition Songs for Male Singers" score books around - check your local music store or Amazon. Most come with backing CD's for you to rehearse with. Audition monologues, yes agree with the previous answer, try and find something different, but along the lines of what you are auditioning for. Try looking at Noel Coward plays - something from The Vortex for example - but many others, lots of good young male monologes that are a little different from the norm. Again, there are many "set" books of "Audition pieces for Males" but be aware that most decent directors will know exactly where you got the piece from! Hope this help, and good luck

If you know what musical is being produced, singing a song from that production is a nice way to get yourself 'into' the character.
