State Board of Education & OSPI Information

The High School and Beyond Plan is a graduation requirement for every student. It's a process for students, parents, and teachers to guide students through high school and think about their future. Plans are personalized and designed to help students set, visualize, and work to achieve goals.

A High School and Beyond Plan is one of the three components, along with Credit and Subject Area Requirements, and Graduation Pathway Options, that Washington students must complete to achieve a high school diploma.

Required Elements of the High School and Beyond Plan

The requirements of the High School and Beyond Plan are described in RCW 28A.230.090 and in WAC 180-51-220.  Decisions about whether a student has met the requirements for the High School and Beyond Plan are made locally per RCW 28A.230.080.
