High school is a time to build your skills and explore your interests to prepare you for life after high school. In order to graduate there are requirements you must meet and it's important to become familiar with them.

What do I need to do to graduate from high school?

Earn Required Credits - student in WA State must complete a minimum of 24 credits to graduate from high school.

Meet Standard on State Assessments - you must take and pass state assessments in English, Math, and Science or take and meet standard through one of a variety of state-approved alternatives.

Complete your High School & Beyond Plan - starting in 7th or 8th grade you will create a plan to help you think about your future and choose classes that prepare you for your goals after high school.

What classes should I take? (Preparing for College)

The classes you take in high school prepare you for your post high school plans. Whether you choose to pursue an apprenticeship or a technical, 2-year, 4-year college, or military academy, you will want to learn their specific admissions requirements.

MATH IS IMPORTANT:

• Most college programs, apprenticeships, and military options require you to take math. Taking more math in high school may mean taking less math in college and opening more post-high school options.
• Over 50% of high school graduates are not ready for college-level classes.
• Taking four years of high school math will help you get ready for college and can help you save on tuition costs!

What are colleges looking for?

• A challenging class schedule, including courses where you can earn college credit. Examples include, Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), Cambridge International, College in the High School (CHS), Running Start (RS), or CTE Dual Credit that can lead to a career credential or associate's degree.
• Electives that match your career and college interests including career and technical education programs of study.
• Some colleges may have additional entrance or admission requirements, such as taking the SAT or ACT.
• Consider taking academic classes for your elective requirements, such as foreign language and/or multiple lab sciences.

TIPS:

• What you do in high school can influence your future.
• Pay attention in class and keep track of your grades.
• Use a planner to stay organized and write down assignments, due dates, and other responsibilities.
• Don't be afraid to ask for help. Be an advocate for yourself and ask for support from your counselors, teachers, family members and mentors.

Try on a career with Career & Technical Education

• Do you like welding or carpentry? Ever thought about becoming a nurse or pharmacist? Or maybe you like working with technology or enjoy sales and marketing. Explore these jobs in high school with Career and Technical Education (CTE).
• CTE blends academic subjects like math and writing with jobs you'd actually like to do! So while you're learning about right angles or how to write a report, you're also able to create a business plan or use a miter saw to build something. And if you like what you're learning, you can dig deeper into the subject and, in some cases, earn both high school and college credits.
• View the CTE Pathways available in the Edmonds School District

Skills Centers: Dig Deeper into careers

• Whether your passion is for cooking, learning to build robots, or helping people get healthy, Skills Centers offer you a place to explore those interests in-depth. With Skills Centers, you get hands-on, specialized training in areas that range from culinary arts to robotics technology to nursing. Often, you're able to earn industry certification and college credits while you're still in high school. Plus you add value to your resume, for when you start looking for a job.
• Learn more about our local Skills Center: Sno-Isle Tech

Need career help or have a learning disability?

• If you are a student with a disability with an Individualized Education Plan or 504 Plan, or if you just need a little extra help with career development and job skills, check out the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR). DVR helps people figure out how to get into careers even if they have struggled in school.

Create your High School & Beyond Plan

• The High School & Beyond Plan is a Washington graduation requirement. It's also a tool to chart your future, and the education steps to get you where you want to go. Remember, you can always change your plan as your interests change. Work with your teachers, counselors, and family to create a plan that's right for you.
• View more information on ESD's HSBP requirements, and find resources to complete them.

What should I do prior to Senior Year?

• Visit colleges or attend college fairs and talk to admissions counselors.
• Make a calendar for important dates and deadlines.
• Develop a list of several college choices.
• Search for and apply to scholarships.
• Save money for college expenses.

What should I do my Senior Year?

• Complete the FAFSA or WASFA.

Am I on track to graduate?

• Make sure you have all the credits needed to graduate.
• Check in regularly with your teachers about your grades.
• Continue completing other graduation requirements, such as your HSBP.

Building Your College Profile

Colleges don't only consider your grades. They want applicants who contribute to the campus and/or the community. Specific activities can make you a more competitive applicant and help you build your work resume. They should also be documented in your HSBP that is required for high school graduation.

What kind of activities should I pursue?

• Athletics
• Community service
• Jobs or Internships
• Music, drama and arts
• School clubs or Summer programs
• Student government / Leadership

GOOD TO KNOW: The level of commitment and leadership in your activities matter more in the admission review process than the number of activities.

What is an activities log (Resume)?

Some applications require an activities log/resume. This list of your extracurricular activities provides a sense of your involvement in and outside of school. You should also include a short description of your involvement for each activity.

NO TIME? Colleges understand that many students have work, family and other responsibilities. Many applications include a section where you can write about yourself or your circumstances. For example, many students need to work multiple jobs to support their family. This is considered leadership.

What is a brag sheet?

Not to be confused with a resume for college applications, the brag sheet is specifically for people writing letters of recommendation. The goal of a brag sheet is to benefit you and make the writing process as simple as possible for your recommender. It might include something specific about the class a student took with a teacher or details of a project. It’s one of the biggest opportunities, as the title implies, to brag about yourself. You get to list your various accomplishments over the years and tell people what makes you a unique and special person.

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR BRAG SHEET:

• Schools You’re Applying to + Deadlines
• Expected Major/Career Goals
• For teachers: what you learned in their class, your proudest moments in the class that back up qualities you hope they will highlight
• For counselors and other staff: your strengths as a student and person, with examples to back them up
• Honors and Awards
• Extracurriculars (sports, clubs, work/volunteer experience)
• Additional Information (if you had any special circumstances, such as a personal or family illness, that impacted your academic and extracurricular participation during high school)

OCTOBER / NOVEMBER / DECEMBER:

• Talk to your school Counselor about the year ahead.
• Start developing a resume.
• If you haven't participated in many activities outside of class, now is the time to start.

JANUARY / FEBRUARY:

• Meet with your school Counselor to develop your schedule for senior year.
• Look for summer opportunities in college campuses or in the community.

MARCH / APRIL:

• Begin taking a more serious look at colleges and universities.
• Begin planning college visits (if possible).
• Develop a preliminary list of colleges that interest you.
• Think about lining up a summer job, internship, or volunteer position.

MAY - SUMMER

• Make a list of teachers, counselors, employers, and other adults you might ask to write letters of recommendation.
• Continue investigating colleges.
• Begin thinking about your applications.

 

FREE TEST PREPARATION TOOLS:

• SAT / ACT: (4-Year Universities) Did you know? Today, over 80% of colleges and universities no longer require standardized test scores from the SAT or ACT. All students, before registering to take either of these tests, are encouraged to first review college websites to view their testing policies or visit fairtest.org to learn more. You may also reach out to your counselor so we can assist you in determining if you would need to take these tests. SAT Info | ACT Info

• ASVAB: (Military) ASVAB Info

AUGUST / SEPTEMBER

MAY / JUNE

• In some cases, the college you plan to attend requires a commitment and/or financial deposit to begin.
• If you are waitlisted by a college you really want to attend, visit, call, and write them. Additionally - consider your back-ups. You want to attend a college that fits both your personal and professional needs.

SUMMER

• Summer jobs - extra cash is always handy.
• If you are going to live on campus, make a list of what you will need to take with you to your dorm room.
• Some colleges offer a summer orientation/registration/events - if you have extra time and transportation, take advantage to get to know your new environment. If you will be driving to school, this is a perfect time to also pick up your parking permit!

During college application completion...

What is my "entering term" and "year"?

Most students will select the fall "term" following senior year (so if you are graduating in 2025, you will select Fall 2025); this may vary depending on the school, program, or location of study you have chosen.

• Address: You will need to include a physical address even if you use a Post Office Box for your mailing address. Make sure this information is correct. The date the address became your permanent mailing address is the month and year you moved to this location.
• Personal Information: When completing applications, you may be asked to enter your nine-digit Social Security Number. The college will use this number to determine your residency for tuition purposes. If you do not have a nine-digit Social Security Number, enter all zeroes in the application. You may also want to consider learning more about and/or completing a WASFA application.

What is my entrance status?

The following are definitions of each status -

• First-year/Freshman: First-year/Freshman will be the first college in which you enroll after graduating high school (most high school seniors will have this status).
• Transfer: A Transfer Student is a student who starts at one college, and then decides to attend another.
  • Did you know? 40% of 4-year graduates in WA started at a Community College and transferred to a 4-Year University.
• Non-Degree: You want to take college courses but are not seeking a degree/not wanting to study anything particular at this time.

What is my desired major?

A major is an academic area in which you are most interested, like Math, English, or Biomedical Engineering. Under "First Choice", you can choose your first choice of majors. You may also check "Undecided"; however, some colleges want you to declare a major upon applying. You can change your major once you're in college no matter what you put in this section now. If you are "Denied" or "Waitlisted" for your first choice, you can also re-apply.

College Information: What should I list for current college courses in progress or planned?

Dual credit programs through college course enrollment (Running Start, College in the High School, CTE Pathways) may be added here; however, do not list AP Courses.

School Specific Information: What additional information will I need to include for each college application?

This information varies by school. You can find more information by looking at the school's website. For this reason, it's a good idea to look at each school's application prior to sitting down to complete it.

Choose a topic that will highlight you.

• Don't focus on the great aspects of a particular college, the amount of dedication it takes to be a doctor or the number of extracurricular activities you took part in during high school.
• Do share your personal story and thoughts, take a creative approach and highlight areas that aren't covered in other parts of the application.

Keep your focus narrow and personal.

• Don't try to cover too many topics. This will make the essay sound like a resume and won't provide any additional details about you.
• Do focus on one aspect of yourself so the readers can learn more about who you are. Remember that the readers must be able to find your main idea and follow it from beginning to end. Ask a parent or teacher to read your introduction and tell you what he or she thinks your essay is about.

Show, don't tell.

• Don't simply state a fact to get an idea across, such as "I like to surround myself with people with a variety of backgrounds and interests."
• Do include specific details, examples, and reasons to develop your ideas. For the example above, describe a situation when you were surrounded by various types of people. What were doing? Whom did you talk with? What did you take away from the experience?

Use your own voice.

• Don't rely on phrases or ideas that people have used many times before. These could include statements like, "There is so much suffering in the world that I feel I have to help people." Avoid overly formal or business-like language, and don't use unnecessary words.
• Do write in your own voice. For the above example, you could write about a real experience that you had and how it made you feel you had to take action. And note that admission officers will be able to tell if your essay was edited by an adult.

Ask a teacher or parent to proofread.

• Don't turn your essay in without proofreading it, and don't rely only on your computer's spell check to catch mistakes. A spell-check program will miss types like these:
  • "After I graduate form high school, I plan to get a summer job."
  • From that day on, Daniel was my best fried."
• Do ask a teacher or parent to proofread your essay to catch mistakes. You should also ask the person who proofreads your essay if the writing sounds like you.

Going to college out of state may mean paying up to three times more than attending a school or university in your home state/territory*. The Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) was established in 1987 to make college more affordable and accessible to students in the West.  

Through WUE, students from the WICHE region* can choose from hundreds of undergraduate programs across the West and pay no more than 150% of the institution’s resident tuition rate.

Today, more than 160 public colleges and universities offer reduced tuition rates through WUE to qualifying students. Participating schools offer these discounted rates to help students avoid the full cost of pursuing higher education outside their home state and minimize the impact of student loan debt.

Find your perfect match. Download the list of WUE schools and use the online WUE Tuition Savings Finder to see how much you can save.

Every college is different. Keep track of each college's requirements, and make sure you meet deadlines for applications and related materials.

• Start working on application essays early. Senior year is a busy time! Starting essays now is a great way for juniors to prepare for college applications.
• Reach out to your counselor and teachers for help gathering application materials, including forms, test scores, transcripts, and letters of recommendation.

Washington state community and technical colleges (CTCs) offer a wide variety of programs. CTCs are typically open to anyone who has a high school diploma or GED. Students can train to enter into a job directly, complete the first two years of a bachelor's degree and then transfer, or pursue applied bachelor's degrees for specific career fields.

• Search for a Washington community or technical college based on location and programs of study.
• Contact your local community or technical college, and/or 4-year university. Ask about certificate and degree options for careers you're interested in.

Most Washington colleges no longer require high school seniors to take standardized tests like the SAT or ACT. Check with each college directly for the latest admissions information.
