The technology levy resumes local funding that has supported Highline schools since 2020. Because state funding does not fully cover school technology costs, the levy helps maintain the technology systems, infrastructure and support for staff, students, teachers and schools.

Highline's Capital Facilities Advisory Committee held its first meeting of the school year Oct. 12. Members reviewed school construction progress, received updates on the November bond proposal and discussed how the committee's work may change following the election.

To support student learning, teachers at our secondary schools have created detailed course syllabi. Each syllabus outlines course expectations, content descriptions, and the academic standards students will master by the end of the term.

In this episode of The Promise Podcast, Rann joins Superintendent Dr. Ivan Duran to reflect on her 28 years as a bilingual paraeducator at Mount View Elementary.

Is your senior planning for college or career training? Financial aid can help cover the cost and support our promise that every student graduates prepared for the future they choose. Applications for 2027-28 are now open.

Visit Cascade, Chinook or Sylvester middle schools or CHOICE Academy to see how these buildings serve students today and learn about the projects proposed in Highline’s Nov. 3 school construction bond.
