QUEST
AVID
AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a support program for highly motivated students that works in conjunction with other Millikan programs to prepare students for attendance at a college or university. The AVID program involves students with a group of peers and adults who share a commitment to academic achievement and who work together to help the group succeed. The AVID elective teacher fills the roles of teacher, academic coach, and mentor. AVID is an elective course of study taught within the school day, and so the teacher has regular contact with AVID students throughout the school year.
In addition to the AVID program, students are given the opportunity to be tutored by college undergraduate and graduate students who major in math, science, history, English, etc.
Its mission is to prepare students for college by offering rigorous academic classes and by fostering good study habits, as well as helping students navigate the college application process.
The AVID program grants special consideration to groups underrepresented in college, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and to students who will be the first in their family to attend college.
AVID is an international program, and as of June 2001, adopted by over 1,200 schools in 21 states and 14 countries.
Choral music
The choral program consists of six courses: Cecillian Singers 1-2 which is a freshman girls class (also called Choraleers); Varsity Chorale 1-8, a freshman boys class; Voice, a small class concentrating on vocal solos; Cecillian Singers 3-8, an intermediate girls class; Concert Choir 1-8, a large, advanced, Co-Ed group of male and female vocalists; and Vocal Ensemble, the most prevalent class in the choral program consisting of Millikan's top eight male and top eight female vocalists: four basses, four tenors, four altos, and four sopranos.
Since 2006, the Millikan High School Vocal Ensemble has taken a trip every year to San Francisco, California to compete with the best high schools, city colleges, and state colleges from the west coast of the country.
