Hey Alex!
When I think back to when I was your age, I really wished I had gotten more involved in math competitions. Does your school have any programs like MATHCOUNTS, AMC8, etc.? I didn't compete in any academic competitions until high school, and I really wished that I had known about them earlier on. It makes getting ahead in math so much fun and it helps lay some really important foundations for the more complicated stuff.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
Also check out the Art of Problem Solving books. They've also got some interesting resources on their website.
Also Journey through Genius by William Dunham and The Art and Craft of Problem Solving by Paul Zeitz.
