CollegeCon brings students and families together to explore college, career training and other paths after high school. This free event is open to students in grades 7–12 and their families.

We are celebrating Language Access Month in Highline Public Schools by recognizing the many languages our families speak and our commitment to clear, inclusive communication. In 2024–25, we supported more than 2,400 interpretation requests, 5,000 on-demand calls, and translations that help families stay connected and engaged.

Highline Public Schools 11th‑grade students recently spent the day exploring their next steps after graduation during FutureU, a hands‑on college and career exploration experience held at Green River College.

Families and students can choose how they want to receive school messages whether that is by text, email or app notification. If texting works best for your family, you can choose that option. When text is turned on, messages from a teacher, coach, or school can come through like a regular text message on your phone. You can read it and reply right from your phone, just like you normally would.

Since fall 2024 staff have been intentionally learning and using Microsoft tools, and preparing for a full shift, including classroom use in 2026-27.

We are expanding Secondary Redesign to include middle schools, strengthening career-connected learning, instructional rigor, and real-world relevance. From new CTE science courses to career pathways, this work helps every student build confidence, explore interests, and prepare for future success.

Across Highline, people make a difference every day in ways big and small. The 2026 Gold Star Awards recognize educators, staff, volunteers and alumni whose care, commitment and service help bring the Highline Promise to life. Presented by the Highline Schools Foundation, the awards honor people whose work makes a lasting difference for students, schools and the broader community.

In this episode of The Promise Podcast, Savannah joins Superintendent Dr. Ivan Duran to share her family’s story, her connection to Highline and what gives her hope for the future. 

We’re in the final year of our strategic plan and beginning the next phase of this work. This update shares what we heard from students, families, staff and community members—and how that feedback is shaping what comes next. Take a look at the key themes and what to expect this spring.
