Avid Program

"AVID is a class designated for students who are motivated and focused on Academic Achievement. AVID not only helps you with high school, but it also helps you get in to college. It helps you with the A-G requirements and with the college application process. The class gives students the extra push they need to succeed. The student-teacher relationship is a great one since AVID is more than a class, it's a family."
