Application for AVID Elective

What is AVID?

AVID helps students develop the academic skills, confidence, and college and career knowledge needed to succeed in challenging classes and prepare for life after high school.

Students learn how to organize their work, think critically, collaborate, ask questions, and advocate for themselves.

AVID students also participate in opportunities focused on college and career readiness that include college visits, guest speakers and many more.
