AVID | Crockett Early College High School

AVID Program at Crockett High

As an AVID National Demonstration School, our school exhibits profound strengths in the culture domain, having cultivated an environment where college and career readiness is not merely an aspiration but an embedded, schoolwide expectation for all students. This pervasive college-going culture is tangible, rooted in the collective belief of both staff and students that every individual possesses the potential for post-secondary success, characterized by unwavering high expectations, strong and supportive relationships, and empowered student agency.

The goal of the AVID Elective class is to support students in these tough classes by providing them with the skills they need to take effective notes, manage their time, organize themselves physically and digitally, collaborate with their peers to solve complex problems, read and write at high levels, generate questions, and utilize tutorial sessions to improve their grades. Additionally, students will visit several colleges throughout the year and hear from college representatives and various professionals. 9th and 10th grade put an emphasis on study skills and executive functioning, while 11th and 12th grade spend time on college essays, refining their college options, financial aid, college applications, and "adulting" skills for the real world.

We systematically celebrate academic milestones and post-secondary acceptances, reinforcing the collective drive towards a college-going identity, and champion equitable access to rigorous coursework and opportunities for all, ensuring every learner feels empowered and supported in pursuing their highest aspirations. We look forward to welcoming your child into our program and helping them become Always Victorious!
