At East Garner Middle School, we are proud to offer AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination), a college and career readiness program that supports all students in building the skills, confidence, and mindset needed for future success. AVID helps students take ownership of their learning, stay organized, and reach their highest potential.

The Benefits of AVID:

• Strong Academic Habits: Students learn proven strategies for note-taking, studying, organization, and time management.

• Collaboration & Communication: AVID classrooms encourage teamwork, discussion, and critical thinking.

• College & Career Readiness: Students explore future pathways, develop goal-setting skills, and build the determination to achieve their dreams.

• Supportive Community: AVID creates a culture where students are challenged and supported to grow academically and personally.

• Confidence & Leadership: By practicing inquiry, problem-solving, and self-advocacy, students become leaders in and out of the classroom.

At East Garner, AVID is more than a program—it’s a pathway that empowers students to believe in themselves, achieve academically, and prepare for the opportunities that lie ahead.
