Middle Schoolers Head To USC!
Culver City Middle School's AVID Program hit the road this week to start their annual college tour.  This week's stop was USC, where college-bound middle schoolers got to tour the campus, visit programs and classes, and even take a picture in front of Tommy Trojan.  Research proves that having college aspirations throughout one's schooling builds up self-efficacy and performance.  AVID does wonders promoting this ethos!
