High School and Beyond

High School and Beyond Plans (HSBP) are a state graduation requirement designed to support students’ career and college exploration throughout middle and high school.  The HSBP helps connect students’ career interests with their classes, and their classes with career training or college majors, helping them identify the steps needed to reach postsecondary goals. HSBPs are revised each year (7th-12th grade) to align with changing interests and educational or career goals.

Northshore School District is proud to partner with SchooLinks to deliver a comprehensive High School and Beyond Plan curriculum. During the 2023 legislative session, Senate Bill (SB) 5243(opens in a new window) concerning the HSBP was passed and signed into law. This bill requires OSPI to facilitate the transition to a statewide universal online HSBP platform that can be routinely updated and adapted to meet any new HSBP requirements. SchooLinks, Inc. was selected in May 2024 as the vendor to partner with OSPI. In this video below, see how educators are leveraging the platform’s capabilities—and how students are exploring their interests, making informed choices, and preparing for life beyond high school.
