At VUSD, we have a 4-year college preparation system to help students who want to go to college after high school but may need someone at home to help them or know all the steps to take to get there.
The mission of AVID is to ensure that ALL students will succeed in a rigorous curriculum, complete their A-G college preparatory classes, participate in extracurricular activities (such as service learning, clubs, athletics, etc.), and earn admission to a four-year college/university by their Senior Year.
Most AVID students fit the profile below:

* High - Average test scores
* Good attendance
* Demonstrates good citizenship in and out of the classroom
* Has the desire and determination to work hard and succeed
* Able to work well with others
* First in their family to go to college
If you think AVID is the right fit for your student, there are a few things the student will need to do:

2. Get-to-Know-you Session with Mrs. Sanchez (VHS AVID Coordinator), Ms. Gina Marwick (AVID Counselor), or another VHS staff member from 1/14-1/15. The student will receive a notification with their session date/time at a later time.
