National AVID Day

Did you know over 500 students are in Pearce AVID? Thank you to Alex Gandy, Cara Ham, Sommer Johnson, and Brendan Kelley who lead AVID in the best way EVERY DAY.

What is AVID Day?

AVID Day is more than a celebration—it’s a chance to spotlight the educators who help close the opportunity gap and the students who thrive because of their support. AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) equips students with the tools and strategies they need to succeed—not just in school, but in life. AVID students consistently graduate at higher rates, attend college in greater numbers, and develop essential skills like critical thinking, collaboration, and leadership.

From watching his dad work hard on construction sites to a full ride to the University of Texas for civil engineering, Pearce High School senior Jose Patino’s journey has been shaped by determination and intentionality to build something that lasts. As a child of immigrants, his parents laid a strong foundation so he could embrace opportunities, earning admission to all 12 colleges he applied to while inspiring others along the way.
