Where do you live?  

In my state (Washington) they have "Running Start":

Many states have similar programs. To help find one near you, we need your location.

Hello bsktbll54321-ga,

It's not clear what information you need from us. Do you want us to
locate college courses that you could take while finishing hight
school? If yes, please tell us where you are -- city/state/zip and
name of high school.

Alternately, are you looking for information about whether the college
courses you're planning to take will be accepted by your targeted 
colleges? This is a much tougher question since each college seems to
have its own rules.

Please tell us more about your situation and what you're trying to
accomplish. Thanks.

I live in Ardsley, NY zip code 10502!

I just wanted to know of any courses(either in the summer or during
school) tht I could take outside of school to earn college courses

Many colleges/high schools allow advanced high school seniors to
attend 1 or 2 college classes each semester and take a reduced load of
high school classes.  I had a couple friends who did this and it
worked very well.

You should talk to your guidance counselor and to local colleges to
find out if you could make this happen.

I know of those Im mainly referring to summer courses at colleges or
some other option I do not know of

In the San Jose, CA area, you can get an R-40 form and take classes at
a community college for free for college (or high school) credit. I
took about 32 units before I graduated high school (each class is 3
units, full time is considered 12 units a semester), so I knocked out
2 semesters before graduating high school, and it was all FREE.
