Evergreen Counseling Center

High school graduation is not the end of our students' education; it is just the beginning. The jobs of the future will require further learning after high school and we want students to be prepared for the pathway they choose. 

That's why Highline is intentionally focusing beyond graduation, to prepare students to successfully complete some form of education after high school, including technical training, a two-year degree program or a four-year university experience. All are good options. 

It is never too early to begin thinking about post-high school education—even in elementary school. As students enter middle and high school, they will maximize their options for higher education by choosing to take challenging classes, seeking out help from teachers and counselors, and pushing themselves to overcome challenges.

Running Start provides students with the option of attending college in 11th and 12th grade, simultaneously earning of high school and college/university credit.

Students in Running Start may take college courses at any of Washington's community and technical colleges or at Central Washington University, Eastern Washington University, Washington State University and Northwest Indian College.

Most Highline Running Start students attend Highline College or South Seattle College.  

Running Start students and their families do not pay tuition, but they do pay college fees and buy their own books, as well as provide their own transportation.

By earning both high school and college credit, students accelerate their progress through the education system. Students taking a full Running Start course load for two years may earn an associate’s degree by the end of their senior year of high school.
