Do you have options to take more difficult classes? You might get blocked because of your grades.
You are not going to find a trick that's going to make homework fun or motivation outside yourself. Discipline is an skill, it only comes with practice.
For me, it was thinking about my future. I wanted to go to a good college, I wanted a successful career. Good grades will facilitate that. Being a high schooler and having discipline must be a lot harder now, though. With the internet, video games, smartphones, and porn, I don't know how I would cope as a 15/16 year old.
The only way I can think to externally provide discipline is to create some accountability for yourself. Ask your teachers if they will email your homework assignments to your parents, and ask your parents to visually check that the assignments are complete. Then set up a reward system with your parents. Maybe if you complete all your assignments for a month, you get a new video game, for a whole semester, maybe a new phone, stuff like that.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
