AVID: An Advanced Elective That Paves Your Road to College

AvidAVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is an elective class that combines rigor with support that includes the student’s own individual determination and the support of: content area teachers, other AVID students, their families, the AVID teacher, and college tutors.  AVID targets students in the academic middle–B, C, and even D students–who have the desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard.  AVID places students in advanced classes and provides them with an elective class that prepares them to succeed in rigorous curricula, enter mainstream activities in school, and increase their opportunities to enroll in four-year colleges.

We greatly encourage parents and students to consider this class. Click on the following link to download the required form:
