Meet Jill Wilson, a Highline social worker helping students feel safe, seen and supported—one conversation at a time.

Highline students are gaining real-world skills through hands-on programs in construction and health care. Core Plus Construction trains students in building trades with industry certifications, while Tyee High School’s new Health Sciences Program, launching fall 2025, prepares students for medical careers with clinical training and mentorship.

Students must be registered and cleared in FinalForms before the first day of practice. Tryouts begin on day one for many sports, so don’t miss your chance to join a team. Physicals are required and must be current within the last two years.

Classrooms turned into career hubs during Chinook Middle School’s 7th-Grade Career Expo. Representatives from the FAA, Port of Seattle, City of Burien, and more shared what it’s like to work in their industries.

Highline Schools Foundation is investing in the future of our students. Forty-two graduating seniors across Highline received scholarships totaling $349,750. 

We want to hear from you! Please take 10 to 20 minutes to complete our Family Engagement Survey, open now through May 30.

Highline teachers do more than teach—they build trust, spark learning and help students believe in themselves. This week, we honor all Highline educators and extend a heartfelt thank you for bringing our promise to life each day—in every school, every classroom and every lesson.  

Step into the Chinook Middle School library and discover a vibrant hub of curiosity and connection. At the heart is librarian Josi Hodge, whose passion for reading drives a bold vision for literacy. Students tell the story best. See how the Chinook library is shaping how students read and grow.

Spring brings warmer weather but also seasonal allergies and colds. Knowing when to keep your child home — and when they’re okay to attend — helps protect learning time. Missing just two days a month adds up! Whether excused or unexcused, absences can impact progress.
