AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination.

By now your student may be enrolled in the AVID elective, or perhaps they are bringing home their binders. You may have heard the buzz word "AVID" and wonder, "what does that even mean?"

AVID is a system that is implemented in every school across our district that helps support students during their educational journey. AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination and provides students with instruction and skills to become college and career ready in a global society.

So far this year we have contacted over 1200 colleges and universities who provided various spirit items to our school. We have used them in every classroom to promote different college paths to our students. We want them to hear the many possibilities for their futures, as well as help them create the path to get there. Additionally, we provided every student with binders to help them learn organizational skills in their various subjects.

This is just the beginning on our AVID journey!
