Senior High School & Beyond Plan
What is a High School and Beyond Plan?
The HSBP is a graduation requirement designed to help students annually reflect on three guiding questions: Who am I? What can I Become? and How do I Become That? With the passage of Senate Bill (SB) 5243 in 2023, OSPI began preparing to transition all public schools serving students in grades 7-12 to a universal, statewide platform for HSBP. You can also find HSBP lessons below. Lessons are organized by grade level.
What is SchooLinks?
SchooLinks is a modern, all-in-one platform designed to help K-12 students, their families, and school staff with college and career readiness. It acts as a centralized hub for students to explore their interests and strengths, plan for their future, and navigate the application process.
