The High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is a nationally representative, longitudinal study of more
than 20,000 9th graders in 944 schools in 2009 who are being followed through their secondary and
postsecondary years. The study focuses on understanding students’ trajectories from the beginning of high school
into postsecondary education or the workforce and beyond. What students decide to pursue when, why, and how
are crucial questions for HSLS:09, especially, but not solely, in regards to science, technology, engineering, and
math (STEM) courses, majors, and careers. To date, HSLS:09 measured math achievement gains in the first 3
years of high school and, like past studies, surveyed students, their parents, school administrators, school
counselors, and teachers. After the initial 2009 data collection, the main study students were re-surveyed in 2012
when most were high school 11th-graders, and again in 2013 when most had just graduated from high school.
The second follow-up data collection took place in early 2016 and consisted of a survey, postsecondary transcript
collection, financial aid records collection, and file matching to extant data sources. The second follow-up focused
on postsecondary attendance patterns, field of study selection processes with particular emphasis on STEM, the
postsecondary academic and social experience, education financing, employment history including instances of
unemployment and underemployment, job characteristics including income and benefits, job values, family
formation, and civic engagement. The HSLS:09 data elements were designed to support research that speaks to
the underlying dynamics and education processes that influence student achievement, growth, and personal
development over time. The HSLS:09 Second Follow-up Main Study and 2018 Panel Maintenance request was
approved by OMB in December 2015 with the latest change request in December 2016 (OMB# 1850-0852 v.1724). This request is to update the confidentiality pledge cited in the HSLS:09 Panel Maintenance materials to
account for the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015 and to cite in the Supporting Statement Part A most upto-date data security and confidentiality requirements.
