Congratulations are in order!!!
Today, Lincoln Magnet School achieved a monumental milestone by being officially named an AVID National Demonstration School!! AVID National Demonstration Schools are exemplary models of the AVID College Readiness System. Demonstration Schools undergo a rigorous validation process and are required to be revalidated every few years to ensure high levels of implementation, with quality and fidelity to AVID strategies schoolwide.
Principal Nicole Heyen and our AVID Leadership team poured months of dedication and hard work into this designation, and the recognition they've earned is nothing short of amazing.
Let's delve into why AVID is such a crucial program in our schools. AVID, which stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination, is not just a program; it's a philosophy that empowers students with the skills and mindset needed to succeed academically and beyond. Through the implementation of AVID strategies, schools like LMS witness a transformative impact on their students.
AVID emphasizes critical thinking, organization, collaboration, and goal setting—skills that are indispensable in today's competitive world. By equipping students with these tools, AVID prepares them for higher education and future careers, fostering a culture of academic excellence and personal growth.
The celebration at LMS today was nothing short of spectacular!
