For the past several years, our focus has been on professional development. We are now turning our focus to strong instructional materials that support standards-based instruction.  

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. 

All children, 18 years old and younger, can eat free breakfast, lunch and snacks during the summer through the federally-funded Summer Food Service Program.

Security will launch a new safety notification system starting July 1. It is important that all staff update their emergency information in Employee Online to receive vital communications.

More students in Highline are graduating bilingual and biliterate than ever before! Over 220 students in the Class of 2019 received the Seal of Biliteracy at graduation.

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. 

Our community-led Capital Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC) members plan to recommend to the school board on June 26 that the next school bond include rebuilding Evergreen and Tyee high schools and Pacific Middle School.
