We welcome nine new members to our community-led Capital Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC). 

Each year, families are required to verify student emergency information and submit updated health information. This ensures we have a current home address, phone number, emergency contact and health information on file. All of these items help us keep students safe while at school. 

We have a few open seats on our community-led Capital Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC). Add your name to the lottery by Monday, September 26 at 9:00 a.m. if you live in Highline and are serious about helping prioritize 10 older schools for future bonds.

School meals today look a lot different than they did when many of us attended school. Our school kitchen staff prioritize local ingredients and scratch cooking when possible. And, they work hard to create recipes that reflect the many cultures our students represent.

It is a great honor to begin my role as your new superintendent. The opportunity to serve Highline’s students, staff, families, and community is a source of great joy, excitement, and optimism. Thank you again to our school board for its confidence in my leadership. I am also extremely grateful for the tremendous legacy of excellence created by the school board, Dr. Enfield, and the district’s leadership, educators, staff, and community.

Here are the stories of eight graduates who are examples of the outstanding young leaders graduating from Highline ready to choose their future. 

Last fall, Chinook Middle School and Tyee High School announced new mascots the Chinook Dragons (formerly the Thunderbirds) and the Tyee Titans (formerly the Tyee Totems).

Last fall, our school community came together to choose a new mascot: the Tyee Titans. Since then a committee of students and staff has been visualizing what the Tyee Titan represents and looks like.
