Advancement Via Individual Determination

AVID embraces the philosophy that “effort creates ability.”  Thus, it is referred to as Advancement Via Individual Determination or AVID from the Latin root word “avidus” meaning “eager for knowledge.”
 
 

AVID’s Mission Statement and Focus:

 
To close the achievement gap and to ensure that students who are “in the middle” academically and are not performing to their potential receive the intensive support needed to:
  • Succeed in rigorous curriculum
  • Complete a rigorous college preparatory path
  • Engage in extracurricular activities at the school
  • Increase their enrollment in four-year colleges and graduate
  • Become educated and responsible participants and leaders in a democratic society

Detective Arguelles explained  the importance of being an ethical person in and out of school. He emphasized that academic skills, especially in the area of  writing,  are an absolute must for success in any career. While it is possible to become a police officer with a high school diploma, promotion to detective requires a Bachelors degree.
