  14. What is AVID? AVID stands forAdvancement Via Individual Determination “AVID’s mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.” Because an AVID student is in a program that requires a multitude of resources from the school and district, we expect a multitude of diligence, effort, time and academic success from our AVID students.

  15. What is AVID? AVID stands forAdvancement Via Individual Determination • It is a college-preparatory program designed to prepare students performing in the academic middle who have the potential to succeed in rigorous courses, but may be underachieving in level-classes. • AVID students must be enrolled in at least one pre-AP class. • It is for students who want to take Advanced Placement or Dual-Credit classes in high school. • It is for students who have the desire and determination to do their best in school and become leaders! • It is for students who want to attend a four-year college or university.
