Check out when our office will be open for the summer.

This year, more than 60 students in second through fourth grades graduated from the Team Read program at Hazel Valley and Midway. Team Read pairs students who are reading at least one year below grade level with trained teen coaches. They meet for one-on-one tutoring after school and during the summer. 

Four of our seniors took a step back before they walked across the graduation stage. Each visited their elementary school to surprise a teacher and say thank you for the lasting impact they made. We captured these special and heartfelt moments on video to share with you.

Highline children can eat free breakfast, lunch, and snacks during the summer through the federally funded Simplified Summer Food Program. The program provides funding for several of our schools to serve children living in South King County. 
 

You know your child best! Please help us support your student by completing our online survey for middle and high school families.

Free ORCA cards are available for students currently in grades 8-12 who qualify for free and reduced lunch.

The Board of Directors will hold a public budget hearing on Wednesday, June 19 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.

With the close of the legislative session, we now have a clearer budget picture for 2019-20. State lawmakers made some modifications to the McCleary funding plan that help us. However, enrollment is still declining, and that means a decline in state funding.

Tuesday, June 4, your 11th grade student will be taking the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science from 8 to 11:15 am at Evergreen High School. This assessment provides information about your student's understanding of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Please ensure your student gets enough sleep, eats a healthy breakfast, and comes on time to school. For any questions, please contact Lynn Herink at (206) 631-6207. Thanks

Our strategic plan names ambitious academic goals, including a goal for at least 19 out of 20 students to graduate prepared to choose their future. Why aim so high? Because our students are worth it, and they are capable of it.

King County Parks announced an award of $200,000 to help with lighting the new turf field coming to Evergreen High School this summer.

On Wednesday, May 15 the Highline School Board approved the adoption of new social studies and math curricula. Students will begin using the new instructional materials in fall 2019.

Due to snow days, the schedule for the last week of school has changed.

To give families what they need to support their children, Highline will launch a new mobile app and online family portal in fall 2019. Highline’s current mobile app will discontinue on June 30. 

In a place where so many teachers are rockstars, it's hard to pick out just a few. We want you to meet some of our teachers who earned extra star status this year from someone who especially admires their commitment to know every student by name, strength and need.
