Genetic height: You may grow a bit more, but you have reached your genetic height I would expect given the height of your parents. Best of luck!

Don't plan on it: Your expected final height based on your parents would be about 5'7" which you have already exceeded. Since the growth centers in most males close by age 18 you are likely finished.
