AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination)
This year, AVID is pleased to have almost 400 students! Their program has grown tremendously in the last few years! Mrs. Huckaby, Mrs. Merry, and Mrs. Scheffler are very excited to see what we will be able to accomplish this year as an AVID Family! The AVID seniors are already reaping the benefits of their hard work with acceptances to UTA, UNT, and others. The AVID students are not only active in the classroom, but in other areas on campus. Be on the lookout for our AVID kiddos as they push themselves to reach their goals!
Over the last week, AVID students have been learning about and practicing the Focused Note-Taking System using the Origami Crane as inspiration. Students learned how to fold a crane, as well as some interesting history behind the centuries-old Japanese tradition. To end their Origami Crane & FNT unit, students created a 1-pager to display their new-found knowledge.
