Charge

The Seattle Colleges offers a variety of programs geared toward the high school student population – whether its outreach to local schools, giving students college credit through dual enrollment, offering alternatives to obtaining a diploma, or supporting students in their transition to our colleges – we care about helping high school students succeed. The High Schools Programs Subcommittee is working to build a collaborative, district-wide high school programs strategy to address the following goals: 

  • Raise awareness of our HS programs both internally and externally 
  • Increase access/retention for high school population 
  • Effectively give cost-savings to students 
  • Promote our high school diploma/completion options 
  • Establish early career discernment mechanism for high school students 
  • Develop methods for collaboration and cross-promotion between programs and campuses 

Status
