Church policy states that a prospective missionary can only receive his endowment after he receives his mission call. I don’t know if this has been updated since the missionary age change. I guess that if you time it right you can get a mission call before you graduate.
Yep, with the age change it is possible to receive your mission call while still in high school.
According to an lds website I found with a quick search on lds.org you can receive your call 3 months before you are available.

It’s longer out than that now. A girl in my ward just got her call (Chile) last week. She goes in to the MTC around the first or second week of June.
It can be quicker too. My niece it’s headed out to north Carolina two months after her papers went in. My home teaching family’s daughter just left last week…she put her papers in right after the announcement so I don’t think that was even two months. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
I would hope that mission calls would not be issued when a student still is in high school – that there would be at least the submission and waiting period retained between graduation and leaving in order to prepare in a more focused manner than can be done while still in high school. As I understood the announcement to be an extension of what already was in place in some countries, due to military and higher education requirements, and as it was stated explicitly that leaving at 18 when no such requirements should not be the norm, I see the ideal still as waiting until after high school graduation, at the earliest, to submit mission papers – but we all know that culture at the zealous extreme tends to create uber-standards that obscure and, too often, replace the law.
🙄 We’ll see.
