AVID
Decades of College Dreams
The AVID Mission Statement
The mission of AVID is to ensure that ALL students and most especially the least served students who are in the middle:
- will succeed in rigorous curriculum,
- will complete a rigorous college preparatory path,
- will enter mainstream activities of the school,
- will increase their enrollment in four-year colleges,
- will become educated and responsible participants and leaders in a democratic society.
AVID’s systemic approach is designed to support students and educators as
they increase schoolwide/districtwide learning and performance.
