Many students at Old MIll have big dreams and want to succeed in this world. They want to be doctors and lawyers, chemists and psychologists, but don't know how to get there. In AVID we offer a "Path to Success" to guide our students. Hard work is the most important characteristic of our students and the determination to succeed is in each one of them. By going beyond simple goals of grades and test scores our students pursue a range of school based activities, which differentiate them from students with a just a good GPA. Our students become well rounded they: explore internships: lead clubs, excel in sports, join honor societies and develop as leaders in the building. Academically, they push themselves in honors, Advanced Placement and E-Cap classes at AACC. The expectations are high and our students rise to the challenge.
