HIGH SCHOOL & BEYOND OVERVIEW
All students attending UPSD, in grades 7 through 12, are required to participate in the High School & Beyond Program (HSBP), including students attending the Running Start program. The HSBP is designed to help students develop their high school path as well as college and career readiness goals while meeting Washington State graduation requirements.
The High School & Beyond Program is beneficial to students because it helps them to plan for their future, develop their leadership skills, support their community, and create opportunities to be more competitive in the college selection process, as well as, the job market.
