Through hands-on learning and career-focused pathways, our Schools and Programs of Choice empower students to explore their passions and opt for learning communities that work for them. Whether it's exploring technology, healthcare, or internships, these programs are designed to give students the tools they need to thrive in the future they choose.

At Highline, we don’t just make a promise—we live it every day. In our new and redesigned 2023-24 Annual Report, you’ll find stories that reflect the heart of our strategic goals and our commitment to fulfilling Highline’s Promise: to know every student by name, strength and need, so they graduate ready for their future.  

The report is mobile-friendly, includes translation features, and highlights the stories that bring our promise to life. It pairs with the Strategic Plan Dashboard, highlighting our successes, opportunities for growth, and providing a tool for the community to explore data and track progress toward Highline’s strategic goals.

Our Highline Dual Language program is about more than language learning. It celebrates the rich cultures students bring to the classroom and helps them excel in school. Multicultural skills enable students to live, work, and communicate across cultures. For many family members, the program is a way for their children to stay connected to their heritage. For others, the program opens doors to different cultures and broadens their children’s own worldview and opportunities. Highline’s Dual Language program is innovative, inclusive and free.
