I'm New...What is AVID? 🙋 I'm New...What is AVID? 🙋

AVID stands for: Advancement Via Individual Determination.


It is a program that transforms a school's culture, instruction, systems and leadership and closes opportunity gaps for ALL students.


AVID provides teachers with consistent tools and best practices to be able to provide students with opportunities and skills necessary to become career and college ready while prioritizing relationships so everyone can achieve their full potential.


Each school integrates AVID's philosophy and strategies across all grade levels, in every classroom, for every student. At the middle and high school levels, there are also AVID Elective courses offered to provide even more focused instruction on key academic and organizational skills.


At HCSD#3, we believe that every student can succeed through determination, opportunity, and personalized support throughout their educational journey!


WE ARE READY TO MAKE THIS SCHOOL YEAR THE BEST ONE YET!
