History of AVID
History of AVID
The AVID program began in 1980 when a teacher in San Diego named Mary Catherine Swanson, English department head and teacher, believed if students were willing to work hard she could teach them the skills needed to be college-ready. Many students from her school were bussed in from disadvantaged areas of San Diego. She saw how many teachers had low expectations for those students and a belief that they could not succeed. She wanted to change that by teaching those kids the college readiness skills they needed to be successful.
