Spring Valley High School was selected as a National Demonstration School by AVID (Advanced Via Individual Determination), a nonprofit organization providing educators with resources to support student success.
“It is a tremendous honor to be selected as a National Demo Site, and we are proud of our AVID program and our school as a whole,” said Spring Valley High School Principal Tara Powell. “The use of AVID strategies schoolwide has positively impacted students and staff, and we continue to see a more engaged and college-ready student body.”
AVID fosters a safe and open culture, high expectations for teachers and students, and collaboration in all classrooms.
