AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination)
This course is designed for students who show academic potential to be successful in college, and who may be one of the first in their family to attend college. Students will work on enhancing their study skills with the goal of successfully participating in college preparatory classes and eventually attending a four-year university. Students will learn how to advocate for themselves in academic and non-academic situations which will help them begin to gain access to the same educational opportunities that already successful students receive. Students will be able to obtain direct assignment assistance, study skills, curricular enrichment, and personal empowerment to feel validated and recognized in the school setting. This class replaces one of the student’s elective courses.
