AVID
AVID, which stands for Advanced Via Individual Determination, is
a program that assists first-generation college bound students. Its
mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students
for college readiness in a global society. The AVID elective class
teaches students college skills in the areas of writing, inquiry,
collaboration, organization, and reading. Many of the participating
students have gone to a 4-year university, after graduating high
school. SMHS has AVID alums at UCLA, UCSB, Cal Poly, University of
San Diego, and Stanford, just to name a few.
