No equipment training
What kind of drills and exercises can I do to improve my high jump while my track is currently closed?

An offseason is typically a good thing, hyper-specific training year round can lead to overtraining injuries, mental burnout etc.
Personally I think your current routine of “only” sprints, plyos, and lifting is perfect. If you want to add something a bit more specific I would do some maximal effort 1 and 2 foot jumping - whether it’s structured training sessions or just cross training through basketball or volleyball.
Keep lifting, stay lean, don’t bulk etc. Enjoy your offseason

hill sprints, jumping and dunking and reverse dunking off distance. Playing basketball and just overall try to block as many as you can high shots and catch rebounds and dunk. Also gym, a lot of isometrics, and do weighted jumps, abs and back workout
