Welcome to SchooLinks

Starting with the 2025-2026 school year, all school districts in Washington state will be plugging students and families into SchooLinks as their resource for their High School and Beyond Plan (HSBP). The HSBP is a state graduation requirement designed to help students explore careers or college pathways starting in 7th grade. 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.

The HSBP has been a graduation requirement for Washington students for many years, but prior to this year, districts varied in the tools they used for HSBP. In an effort to ensure all Washington students have access to high-quality HSBP resources, the state passed SB 5243 requiring a single, universal HSBP platform for all Washington schools.

What is SchooLinks?

SchooLinks provides a single place for students to complete and track every component of the HSBP. Students can use SchooLinks to:

  • Identify their strengths and interests through surveys that personalize their learning and career path.
  • Research post-secondary options, including 2- and 4-year colleges, and take virtual reality college tours
  • Build academic and career course plans that fit their personal career goals
  • Explore 2-year and 4-year colleges and take virtual reality college campus tours
  • Search for scholarships and learn about financial aid
  • Explore traditional, emerging, and military career fields for diverse insights
  • Create a digital portfolio or resume to showcase skills and accomplishments
  • Communicate with counselors for support and guidance on the High School & Beyond Plan
  • Access career interest, strength and mindset surveys
