High School, College & Career Planning

Chinook Middle School students have lots of choices when it comes to high school. Most Chinook 8th graders are eligible to feed directly into Tyee High School, but students also have the option of applying to Raisbeck Aviation, Big PictureCHOICE Academy and the IB program at Mount Rainier. Contact your school counselor for more information about the high school application process. Highline High School and Evergreen High School are not considered choice schools and require an in-district transfer request form completed.

  • Exploring the Options...Big Future is a website connected to The College Board that helps students explore careers, colleges, and how to pay for it all. This is a great site if you want to hear stories about how others chose their path and make a plan to reach your own goals.

  • Planning for How to Pay...The College Bound Scholarship program is an early commitment of state financial aid to eligible students who sign up in middle school and fulfill the scholarship pledge. The scholarship is available to 7th and 8th grade students whose family income meets the guidelines or who are in foster care. The deadline to sign up is June 30 of the students' 8th grade year. Your school counselor has applications and is ready to sign you up! You can also find more information and apply here.

  • Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step toward getting federal aid for college, career school, or graduate school. Completing the FAFSA is free and is usually completed as early as possible during the calendar year that a student is planning to attend school. It is important to apply as soon as possible to qualify for the most funds!
