THE AVID MANTRA
I will strive for excellence in all that I do.
There is no plateau that I can’t reach,
no goal that I can’t accomplish
because
I AM AN ACHIEVER.
Without struggle, there is no progress.
I WILL PREVAIL!

Did You Know????
• Even after high school, the skills students
learn in AVID are used to succeed in both
college and life. Eighty-five percent of
AVID students graduate from college with
an average G.P.A. of 2.94.
What are the results???
• A well-developed AVID program improves
schoolwide standardized test scores, advanced
rigorous course enrollments, and the number of
students attending college. Since 1990, more
than 30,000 AVID students have graduated from
high school and gone on to college. Ninety-five
percent of AVID students report enrolling in
college, 77 percent in four-year institutions
and 17 percent in community colleges. The
national average for four-year college enrollment
is 35 percent.
