Welcome

AVID is an elective class that meets for one period each day. Students learn organizational and study skills, work on critical thinking and asking probing questions, get academic help from peers and tutors, and participate in enrichment and motivational activities that make college  attainable. The AVID program is part of nationally recognized program that brings best practices and proven methodologies to students in middle, junior high, and high schools. 

The AVID class targets students in the academic middle, who are first-generation or whose parents did not attend college in this country, and who want support in their goal to attend college. They should be individually determined  and motivated to complete a rigorous curriculum. In the AVID elective, students are routinely encouraged to enroll in their school’s toughest courses, such as honors or Advanced Placement® classes.
