Welcome to
AVID at Highland Park Senior High!
Students can learn valuable skills that help them prepare for college and beyond with a class called Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID). Students focus on writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization and reading. AVID is an elective class, and takes the place of one elective on your schedule.
AVID students visit college campuses, refine academic skills, and engage in high-level thinking and discussion. Students also develop positive peer relationships, learn to advocate for themselves, and improve self-awareness.
Students are given support to be successful in rigorous courses. Tutors are in AVID class twice per week to facilitate collaborative learning groups that help students better understand course work and develop higher-level thinking skills.
Thank you for your interest in AVID!
