Certainly, there are quite a handful of part-time jobs that are suitable for high school students:

1. Retail Sales Associate: Many clothing stores, grocery stores, and even mom-and-pop stores hire high school students. This kind of part-time job can help teach you customer service skills and money management.

2. Food Service: Jobs like being a cashier, barista, or server at a local restaurant or cafe can help you develop teamwork skills and customer service expertise. Fast food chains and local diners often hire high school students.

3. Tutoring: If you are strong in a subject, tutoring can be a great way to earn money while reinforcing your knowledge. This could be tutoring younger students, peers, or even adults in your community.

4. Babysitting: This can teach you responsibility and provide flexible hours. Plus, it often pays well.

5. Library Assistant: If you like a quiet environment, check if your local library hires high school students.

Remember, the best part-time job for you ultimately depends on your interests, skills, and schedule. It's crucial to find a balance between work, schoolwork, and personal time.
