AVID

Brief Description

Advanced Via Individual Determination (AVID) mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society. The AVID Program at BHS is helpful for students who wish to attend college, will be first-generation college students, and are highly-motivated to succeed. We seek out the “middle/average” student who may need extra help and time with their daily course work. It helps students with time management, organization, planning, reading and writing. Students in the program become very much like a family as they collaborate in weekly study groups and attend college field trips. Students also receive help with college applications, college essay writing, financial aid, and scholarships. In addition, AVID students become productive members in the community through community service.
