WHAT IS THE HIGH SCHOOL AND BEYOND PLAN?
The High School and Beyond Plan process is a graduation requirement that supports students in exploring their interests, planning high school coursework that is aligned to those interests, keeping track of major assessment scores, and logging work and other relevant experience. We will be using a new platform to track the HSBP for the class of 2025 and beyond. Please remember that the HSBP is a graduation requirement mandated by the state of Washington.
The requirements to fulfill this plan include specific tasks for each grade level and a concluding senior exit interview.

SENIOR EXIT INTERVIEW
CLASS OF 2026
Interviews will be on MAY 12th and MAY 14th from 9am-11:30am
Before your Interview:
- Schedule your interview with Mrs. Smith in the CCRC, if you missed the Senior meeting and were absent when Mrs. Smith presented in your English classes.
- YOU MUST COMPLETE YOUR SCHOOLINKS TASKS BEFORE YOUR INTERVIEW
On the Day of your Interview:
- DRESS TO IMPRESS
- BRING YOUR RESUME
IF you are a FULL IB DIPLOMA Candidate or have taken and passed both CCS101 and CCS102 at the college, then you have a different Exit Interview Requirement within those programs and will not need to sign up for an interview at CHS.
The HSBP concludes with a senior exit interview. The interview concentrates on the student’s career and life goals. The interview is meant to exhibit the student’s creative ability, critical thinking and communication skills while demonstrating a clear understanding of the essential activities needed to achieve their goals. Our goal is to give seniors an experience that will be similar to situations you may encounter once leaving CHS to enter the workforce, college or other options during your life.
What to Remember About Your Interview:
- Go over the rubric before the interview. See a copy of the rubric HERE.
- The interview lasts approximately 15 minutes.
-
You answer the three guiding questions we ask students every year:
Who am I?
What then can I become?
How do I become that?
-
Each senior will interview with one to two adults, which may include CHS staff, OSD staff or community members.
- Read & review your plan. Make note cards for yourself if needed.
- Dress to impress. Professional dress is recommended.
- Eye contact & clear voice.
- Introduce yourself when you walk into the interview.
- BRING YOUR RESUME
Before your interview, you will need to have your High School and Beyond Plan tasks completed. Remember to email me in the Career Center at [email protected] if you need any help completing these steps.
