Highline is preparing students for the future they choose. One way we do this is by helping students build the digital skills and habits they may use in college, training programs and future careers. Highline is continuing a districtwide transition to Microsoft. Staff have been learning and using Microsoft tools since fall 2024. Beginning in the 2026–27 school year, students will use Microsoft 365 tools more regularly for classwork.
