Congratulations to our newest AVID Warriors, Ross Foley and Jessica Metropulos! They completed the twelve-hour AVID strategies training. AVID is a 45-year-old national program that includes an elective class, where the goal is to help students achieve greater success in both the classroom and in their future. This is MCHS' third year as an AVID school.
