High School and Beyond Planning with WSIPC

WSIPC’s High School and Beyond is an interactive planning tool. It delivers all the elements of Washington State’s required plan, including a four-year course plan based on state or district graduation requirements and post-secondary goals. High School and Beyond uses the student’s data from Skyward.

Students can create their own personalized pathway through high school, and revise their Plan annually to accommodate changing interests or goals. Counselors, parents, and guardians may review and approve student Plans, and monitor their progress towards graduation. The Plan also follows the student if they transfer to another school district using Skyward.

High School and Beyond not only helps students to plan their future, it creates a clear and concise strategy towards accomplishing their educational goals.
