Meet the Team
The Highline Schools Foundation was established in 1999 with the purpose of providing community resources to help Highline Public Schools succeed. Oversight for the Foundation is provided by a volunteer Board of Trustees who meet eight times per year. Six of the trustees are elected as officers each year and meet monthly to ensure the Foundation is on track to accomplishing its goals.
