About Us
The Foundation Background
The Highline Community
College Foundation was established in 1972 as a nonprofit
corporation to receive and invest contributions that support
students, educational programs and services of the college. The
Board of Directors are business and community leaders that
contribute their skills, financial resources and time to help the
college meet critical needs. The foundation strives to connect with
the community to meet vital needs not met through public funding.

Highline Community College was founded in 1961
as the first community college in King County. It serves

or universities, along with Associate of Applied Science (AAS)
