AVID’s mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.
EDGE AVID Students Love Field Trips!

AVID in 2024-25
College-Ready Practice
In October, AVID students participated in the PSAT/ACT/SAT testing in their resident schools!
Why take the PSAT?
- You get a good sense of your future SAT score.
- You can target areas you need to practice for the SAT.
Peer Mentoring all year!
Our AVID students have been busy going into the elementary and middle school classrooms peer mentoring students. Not only are both sets of students enjoying the camaraderie, but academic success is also noticeable!

Student Reactions to Speakers
Fred had a really amazing background that many would not be able to last in, so I honor him for going through all that and still speaking fondly of it. I loved how at the end he said the older you get the more wise you become..truly makes me feel better about growing up.
We are excited to have more community members and mentors visit our AVID classes second semester, sharing their knowledge and passion around specific careers.
