High school students tour California colleges
Nineteen AVID students from Mammoth High School went on an adventurous two day college tour. The students raised money for the trip through the AVID Multicultural Night. In addition to fund raising by MHS Boosters, and the Mammoth Noon Rotary generously agreed to donate funds to the group. The trip was a grand success as all 19 students were exposed to city life, three universities, and a private party at Knott’s Berry Farm exclusively for California AVID students. The intent of the AVID program is to prepare students for college. The AVID class provides advisement and support, academic monitoring and tutoring, as well as core study strategies to ensure success in both high school and college.
