Most programmers are doing low level programming works which may only require high school level math.
However there are high level programming works that require not only college level math but also graduate school level math.
For example, if you try to program a good way to compress images and videos. You try to get the best compression ratio so you can have a smaller file to save storage space (think how much it can help Youtube). You try to send the best compressed video to a remote location and decompress it with near original quality (think of Apple Facetime or Skype video). To do well on image compression you need to know a lot advanced math such as Fourier series, Wavelet,...etc.
They are graduate school or even beyond graduate school level math.
Many Wall Street algorithmic tradings (robot trading, high-frequency trading,..etc) are programmed with advanced math.
The simplest trading model: momentum trading is based on the second derivative which you can learn in Calculus.
Many firms like to hire Math Ph Ds and then teach them how to do coding.
They don't hire high school coders and then teach them Fourier series, Wavelet,..etc.
You can see why.
As a high school student who is interesting in programming, you can:
1. Get a programming job after high school, stop learning college and graduate school math.
You maybe able to find a job and happy with your life for a while. But when you are 40, you can be easily replaced by some young high school graduates.
2. You learn a lot math including graduate school math. Do some high level programming with your advanced math knowledge.
You may invent some new computer chips, get some patents, and retire at the age of 45.

It is your call.
We used Tucows for over 10 years. It is a much better registrar than GoDaddy. Way to go Wikipedia.
