Transfer Categories

Transfer requests will not be approved for athletic or co-curricular activity reasons. As per WIAA regulations, students transferring from one high school to another high school within the Highline Public Schools district, without a corresponding change in home residence with natural parents or legal guardians, will be deemed ineligible for a one-year period at the varsity level of sports. 

Your student may require a WIAA hearing in order to compete at the Varsity level.

Please review the information on the Washington Interscholastic Athletics Association (WIAA) Student Eligibility webpage. Please review changing/ transferring schools section specifically the Before you ENROLL and Before you WITHDRAW forms.
