This is insane for a high school web project. Kudos and props to the author. Be sure to put this on your resume!

Thanks! For some reason I never thought of putting it on a resume, but I will now.
Put everything interesting you do on your resume! Every opportunity I've been offered has been due to my side projects or non-programming experiences. Your formal education is still important, but, in my experience in the software world, people value the results of your work more than they value your education.

This app you've made is an amazing demonstration of your skills and understanding of web development. It's worth so much more than your GPA.
