AVID Program
Welcome to the AVID Program!
A program designed to help students with high academic potential prepare for entrance to colleges and universities
"In AVID we work together as a class or group to stay up to date on school in general. We organize our binders, fill out our weekly agendas, and present any questions we have on any class as a TRF. During these, students will group together and work together to help the person solve their problem. Also, we do college research to help narrow down our search."
"We work on self-growth technically. We work on being better students by being organized and learning how to be able to ask questions or help with something. Being able to recognize where our strengths are and where not. A place that guides you correctly through your high school years."
"AVID helps you keep organized and makes sure that you are taking accurate and detailed notes in your classes. It also helps make sure that you're keeping up with your classes and your goals. It also helps to make sure that you have everything planned for your future in college."
"I would describe it as a program that works to help better your studying and organizing skills through high school. You also gain a new family during these four years."
"We better prepare students for real issues that most struggle/not have knowledge of such as time management, what should be on your college essay. Help keep students organized. Gives a closer family-like setting where you can be yourself and comfortable. Very beneficial."

"It serves as an educational tool that helps me navigate the college process and be a successful student"
"I like AVID because of how it has prepared me for college as well as how it makes me push myself to my furthest potential"
"I like how AVID focuses on actually learning a certain topic rather than copying down notes and trying to understand them. When given a certain topic to discuss, we go into depth if necessary to fully understand what we are looking for"
"I like AVID because it isn't just a classroom with random students, it is a little family where you have the same students for all four years of high school, and not only do you prepare for college but you build a bond with everyone in the class"
