Nogales AVID Program
What is AVID?
AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a college readiness program designed to increase the number of students who are accepted and enrolled in four-year colleges. AVID focuses on the least served students in the academic middle and we work together to raise our expectations for students. With the AVID support system put in place, it is our goal and mission to have all students rise to the challenge and attend a four-year college.
