Advancement Via Individual Determination!
We are PROUD to have AVID at Elkhorn! This is the 15th year of our program. AVID has made great strides at Elkhorn not only in each of the three grade level elective classes, but across the entire 6th-8th grade and into K-5. We are also PROUD to be the only AVID-certified school in our school district.
Our AVID teachers this year are Ms. Chanderl (AVID 8), Mr. Baggs (AVID 7), and Ms. Coelho (AVID 6).
