High School Transitions Event 

At Highline, we're dedicated to making every student future-ready. High school is a time where dreams take flight, and futures are forged. We offer a variety of secondary pathways, from maritime studies and aerospace exploration to virtual learning and neighborhood schools. We’re here to help you explore your options so that you’re prepared for the challenges and possibilities of tomorrow.  

Join Us at our High School Transitions Event 

• When: December 18, 2025 
• Location: Puget Sound Skills Center 

Representatives from your neighborhood high school and Schools and Programs of Choice will share about their schools, programs and admission process. Get a clear overview of all your high school options. If something sparks your interest, you can learn more by attending a school-specific information session.  

Application support will be available for students and families via breakout rooms—staff will be available to answer questions and guide you through the process step-by-step.
