It depends on if you still have a layer of cartilage (growth plate) at your ankles. If you do, then yes, you'll grow a bit taller. You can either ask your parents when they stopped growing or go to a doctor and have them check your growth plates. How tall your parents are might also be an indication.
As an online community, we can't answer this definitively, but we can at least guide you to where you can find the answer.
If it's any indication, most people are about as tall as they are going to get by 17-19, so you might get another inch or two if you're lucky.
