West Orange High School Celebrates TCI/AVID Graduates
WEST ORANGE, NJ - 26 West Orange High School seniors were recognized at the May 17 TCI (The Collegiate Institute)/Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) Program graduation.
AVID is a national program currently operating in 47 states. It has been active at West Orange High School for several years. According to the WOHS program description, AVID "is a small learning community for students in the academic middle as they prepare to navigate college preparation courses. AVID actively engages students in metacognitive processes of analysis and evaluation of learning through effective methodologies of learning strategies called W-I-C-O-R (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading).
The AVID program prepares students to enroll in rigorous honors and AP courses. The AVID elective course is part of the regular school day. AVID students are expected to take part in clubs and activities as well as form study groups with their peers. The AVID program involves an application and interview process. The number of students selected for this program will be limited and parents of students in the program must be willing to be active participants in the program."
Students in grades 9-12 received certificates recognizing high honor roll, honor roll, and perfect attendance. Two seniors were awarded $500 awards for exemplifying the AVID ideals throughout high school. William GarthHill was given his award from his AVID 12 teacher Andrew Guglielmo and Breanna Bailey was given her award from her AVID 12 teacher Patricia Aldworth.
Mr. Patrick Briggs, AVID Northeast States Director was the guest speaker at the event.
