Freshmen grades in High school matter?

Question: My Freshman grades in Highschool were horrible [see below for actuall grades]. If I was able to improve over the next three years and manage 4.0's and above 2300 SAT above 34 ACT, including extracurricular clubs, sports and community service and all the good stuff, would I still be able to get into harvard or Johns Hopkins etc. based on this grades.?

For all of you out there who can answer my question:
Just got the report card for my high school grades....And guys i go to a diffrent high school than most, this school offers the IB and follows its curriculum so it is tougher than a normal HS..approximately if you get a B+ or an A- it is equivelent to an A.
