Either way. (Are there other courses at the HS that you _want_?
Nothing wrong at all with taking a range of things, by choice.)

Taking a college course would be a good experience. The first semester
of college can be a shock, and getting a preview helps. Even if you
don't do well, you are better able to get off to a running start the
following year, cuz you know better what to expect.

Watch the work load, especially the first semester. A key feature of
college courses is a much greater time commitment on your own per hour
of class.
