This program is currently offered only at Heritage High School.
AVID is a school-wide program that prepares students to succeed in rigorous curriculum and increases their opportunities for enrollment in four-year colleges. Students who may be served by AVID have average to high test scores, a 2.0-3.5 GPA , the potential to meet college level rigor and the desire and determination to prepare for that rigor while in high school. The AVID program requires that student participants meet one or more of the following criteria:
- First to attend college in their family
- Historically under-represented in four-year colleges
- Low income and/or special circumstances
Students selected to participate in AVID will be required to take the AVID elective each semester. This elective will introduce and teach students the skills they will need to be successful in the college preparatory courses that comprise their academic schedule.
