High School Options

Most Washington State community and technical colleges operate one or more high school programs such as High School Completion, Technical High School, Credit Retrieval, Youth Re-engagement, External Diploma Program or other high school options. The goal of each of these various programs is to award a high school diploma to students who complete the graduation requirements.

These programs are operated under graduation requirements adopted by the college’s board of trustees that conform to the State Board of Education’s graduation requirements as appropriate.

Visit the State Board of Education’s website (http://www.sbe.wa.gov) for more information on graduation requirements or contact Michael Tate at mtate@sbctc.edu, 360-704-4329.
