AVID Demonstration School Visit

Staff from Interlachen Jr. Sr. High School recently had an incredible experience at Narcoossee Middle School, an AVID Demonstration school in St. Cloud, FL! NMS began their AVID journey in the 2010-11 school year with 92 AVID Elective students in grades 7 and 8. Since that time, they have grown to 438 AVID Elective students and 3 AVID Elective instructors. The passion for education there is palpable, and it's clear why they're a shining example of AVID success. From dedicated educators to engaged students, the atmosphere is nothing short of inspiring! AVID strategies are seamlessly woven into the fabric of learning, fostering critical thinking and college-readiness skills. The emphasis on student collaboration and inquiry-based learning is truly commendable. Kudos to the incredible staff for creating a nurturing environment that promotes not just academic excellence, but also personal growth.

Site Teams

Site Teams

For AVID, the Site Team is the heartbeat of the AVID school. Site Teams are made up of school administrators, school support staff like school counselors and instructional specialists, AVID Elective teachers, and core academic teachers. Site Teams have an open door policy–they welcome anyone willing to volunteer to improve their school as an AVID school. The Site Team sets goals for the school and then works all school year to make sure those goals are met. We have amazing Site Teams at our schools!
