Our Mission

AVID is an elective class that students typically take for all 4 years of high school. These classes...

• Provide students with the necessary support and study skills required to be successful in high school, college, and beyond

• Guide students through the college application process and help them with scholarships and financial aid so that attending college is as affordable as possible

• Employ college-age tutors who assist students with the most challenging classes on a regular basis

• Encourage students to learn about themselves so that they graduate high school with a clear path and have a plan to achieve their goals

If you're thinking about applying for AVID, talk to your counselor and/or fill out this application. In general, AVID best serves students who consider themselves to be in or around 'the middle' academically but are motivated to attend a 4 year university after graduation and are looking to challenge themselves. AVID students are often bright and capable but recognize that they could use some support with organization and study skills to fully reach their potential. Finally, the AVID program is ideal for students who... 

• Are from traditionally underserved backgrounds

• Have experienced economic or personal challenges outside of school

• Possess ambitions to be the first in the families to attend college

• A study hall

• A remedial or 'at risk' program

• For students with major attendance or behavior issues
