“It's not about perfect. It's about effort. And when you bring that effort every single day, that's where transformation happens.  That's how change occurs.” 

― Jillian Michaels

AVID Brothers 

It is always delightful to see siblings encouraging each other.  Congrats to Bryan Shirley, grade 9, for cheering on his younger brother, Hendrick, grade 6.  That’s the AVID Titan spirit!

AVID &  ESports Field Trip March 19, 2024 

This week AVID students and ESports members toured Full Sail University and the University of Central Florida. Odyssey Titans walked on the campuses and went inside classrooms.  They talked to advisors about specific majors and learned about the application process for each university. AVID students measured various attributes of each school and reflected on how the different colleges support their individual future goals. This field trip is one of several ways that the AVID program assists students with their journey to college acceptance.
