AVID Elective

What is AVID?

AVID, Advancement Via Individual Determination, is a program that targets students in the academic middle. They are hard workers who, with increased support, will go to college. Often, these students will be the first in their families to attend college and come from groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education.
