AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination. As such, the students who are admitted to AVID are motivated, hardworking, and college-bound, ready to set goals and tackle obstacles. Every Tuesday and Thursday, students advance their thinking through collaborative inquiry tutorials, with the guidance of college tutors. Our curriculum is focused on college and career awareness and how to navigate the challenges of high school. 

 

The LQ AVID teachers for the 2023-2024 school year are as follows:
