AVID designated Creekside High as a demonstration school. The program provides Creekside with professional development resources to support students across grades 9-12. Each level has its own standards and curriculum to follow. The foundation is built on five core principles: writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization, and reading, known as WICOR. AVID targets students considered to be in the academic middle, an area where AVID Coordinator Patti Lee saw an opportunity.
