Highline High School this week announced the hiring of Finn Fosberg as its new head coach for the boys’ basketball team.

Fosberg, a 2017 Highline alum, was a standout multi-sport athlete during his high school career, earning All-League honors in basketball, baseball and tennis.

He later attended the University of Washington Tacoma and is now returning to his alma mater to lead the Pirates basketball program.

“Finn is excited for this new chapter in Pirates Basketball and so are we,” the school said in a statement.

Fosberg’s appointment marks a homecoming for the former student-athlete and a fresh start for the team, which competes in the KingCo 3A Lake District division.

The Pirates boys’ basketball team concluded its 2024–25 season with an overall record of 7 wins and 12 losses. In district play, they achieved a 4–7 record, placing them third in their division.

Finn’s dad Mike Fosberg is also a Highline Pirate alum, who served as principal for three years at the school.
