AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is an elective course throughout high school that provides students with the skills and tools they need to be successful in advancing academically with the ultimate goal of attending college. Students in AVID, who will often be the first in their families to attend college, are taught study skills, writing and research skills, time management and note taking techniques, while being immersed in a college going culture.
This past fall, the Foundation approved a grant for AVID which provides funding for class supplies, graduation stoles and a class trip this Spring to visit San Jose State and possibly Santa Clara University (COVID restrictions permitting). Thanks to the generosity of our community, the Foundation is thrilled to support the success of these students in this important program!
