AVID at DHS
-Alex Pochmara

AVID is one of the most exciting programs DHS offers. AVID is a college prep course that does just as the title suggests, prepare you for college!

Students in AVID have a lot of direct contact with people from colleges and tutors to help them with their work. Tutorials, one of the biggest parts of the AVID experience, are where actual college tutors come in to help the students with their homework.

Another big part of what AVID does is go on field trips to college campuses. Their most recent trip was to the campuses of San Jose State University and Cal State East Bay . “The field trips are the best,” said Senior Charrod Pittman, “It’s a great way to see different colleges and decide what the perfect campus is for you.”

The students do other activities too like fill out college applications and do activities for public speaking to improve their skills. AVID is a great addition to our campus and has helped our students prepare.
