Substitutes

Guest employees play an important role in helping us provide quality education for our students. As a guest employee you will help to deliver on our strategic plan by ensuring no fall off in instruction when a teacher or staff member is out of the building. Our goal is to provide you with the tools you need to be confident and successful in every classroom in every school. 

We value your commitment to the students of Highline Public Schools! 

Please refer to the Guest Employee Welcome Packet for details on expectations and classroom management.
