I am only 14 years old and I am going into high school next year. I'm struggling with my career path right now. I get that this is something that older kids are getting worried about but I have been getting anxiety from it. What I want to do the most is to follow my dream of classical guitar, it is one of the things I love most. I have been told that I am talented with the guitar ever since I have been playing it. Music and art has always been part of my family, my mother, my brothers, my grandfather and so on. The thing is, I don't know what to do to accomplish my dream. I don't know if I should change high schools to one with a better musics program or what.

First of all, please don't stress. You're too young for that, but something about it is refreshing; knowing that some kids do think about their future.
Anyway, it seems like you have a good foundation. You have been gifted with music and your family is very supportive of that.
I wouldn't worry too much about high school- in terms of finding the right music program, anyway. If you want to make a career out of music, I would look into what matters instead: college.
College is what people look for on a resume. So if there are any musically inclined colleges, take to that instead, and again, don't stress. It's still some time from now. Enjoy high school, improve your skills and think about how you might go about your future with your guitar. Are you a solo artist? In a band? I'm sure everything will work out just fine.
