High School and Beyond Plan

Preparing Students for College and Career

The High School and Beyond Plan (HSBP) is a state graduation requirement designed to help students explore careers or college pathways starting in 6th grade in Seattle Public Schools. It centers on students reflecting on three guiding questions: Who am I?, What can I Become? and How do I Become That? Throughout the year, students update their HSBP goals to reflect their changing interests and goals, connecting what they learn and the skills they develop to future career pathways.

SPS transition to SchooLinks, a new HSBP platform 

Beginning in September 2026, our district will transition from Naviance to SchooLinks, the state-selected HSBP platform for Washington schools. This shift ensures alignment with state requirements while providing improved tools for students to explore their interests, plan for life after high school, and track progress toward their goals. SchooLinks also expands access for families, creating new opportunities to engage in their student’s planning process. More information, including access details and training resources, will be shared ahead of the launch.
