Kennewick School District

High School & Beyond Plan

The High School and Beyond Plan empowers students to explore their interests and strengths, select courses that align with future goals, and demonstrate readiness for college, careers, and life. Serving as a personalized guide, this plan supports students in making informed decisions as they prepare for success beyond high school.

Kennewick School District students complete their High School and Beyond Plan through SchooLinks. To access SchooLinks, students log in through Rapid Identity on their district Chromebook, open the Student Portal, and select the SchooLinks icon.

Parents and guardians can also create a SchooLinks account to support and track their student’s progress. On this page, you’ll find links to planning tools for grades 7 through 12, as well as instructions for parents or guardians on setting up a guardian account.
