A film documentary, Eleven Paths, that follows 11 Highline students through four years of high school will hold its premiere on Sept. 19 at the Highline Performing Arts Center.
In 2013, Highline set a goal for graduation: at least 19 out of 20 students entering grade nine that year would graduate prepared to choose their future. To track this goal, Highline partnered with award-winning filmmaker Rick Stevenson to document the lives of a diverse group of students from across the district.
This 23-minute film gives you an intimate view into the challenges and triumphs of these 11 students as they navigate high school. Join us on September 19 for a special screening and hear their compelling stories.
