Welcome to our AVID Department
New Town High School is honored to be the first and only high school in the state of Maryland to be a National AVID Demonstration School as well an an AVID Site of Distinction.
AVID is a four-year college readiness system. The AVID program at NTHS works to prepare our students for success at a four year college or university. 9th and 10th graders who are not currently enrolled in our AVID Program are encouraged to apply to be an AVID Scholar during the next school year.
The AVID program is currently full for the 2018-2019 school year. Applications for the 2019-2020 school year will be available in November 2018. Please email Mrs. Albert (
kalbert@bcps.org) for an application.
