We are adopting new materials for biology and health--and we want your input! Your voice is important as we select new instructional materials for high school biology and health for grades K-2 and 6-12. Attend an open house to learn more about the instructional materials under consideration on Tuesday, March 12.

Safety is our number one priority. Two elementary schools in the Bellevue School District recently reported cyber kidnapping incidents. Cyber kidnapping is a new scam where families are tricked into paying money by making them think a loved one is in danger. Although no cases have been reported in Highline, we are sharing information to help our families stay vigilant and safe.

If you have a child who will be 5 years old by August 31, it's time to think about kindergarten. The 2024-25 school year is just around the corner, and believe it or not, now is the time to enroll.  

computer

We use technology to make learning better. We think about how and why we use screens in school, focusing on active screen time, where students use their brain and body vs. just passive screen time. Tools like Chromebooks and iPads help everyone learn in their own way.

We seek to create a challenging learning environment that encourages high expectations for success through engaging and relevant instruction while nurturing individual differences and learning styles.
