Connection Center

Welcome to the Connection Center!

Highline Schools offers a wide variety of alternative program options for middle and high school students. The Connection Center is a counseling service to help students and their families navigate all their options and find the program that aligns with their goals and needs. Interpreters can be provided for speakers of other languages.

Connection Center referral form

Please ensure the student and/or family is in agreement with this referral prior to submission.

What to Expect

During your Connection Center appointment, you will meet with our Re-engagement Counselor. Together, you will review your educational history, transcripts, personal goals and potential barriers to achieving those goals. You do not need to bring any paperwork or documents to this meeting unless there is something important you would like to share with the counselor.

Outcomes of a Connection Center appointment are student driven and based on individual situations. Some students may decide to remain at their current school placement or apply to a school of choice or alternative education program.
