Congratulations, Braves! 💙 Recently, the school welcomed visitors for an AVID Showcase, giving students, staff, and school leaders the opportunity to share what they've learned and demonstrate the impact of the program throughout their school experience. First recognized as an Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) National Demonstration School during the 2004–2005 school year, IRMS holds the distinction of being Virginia's longest-standing AVID National Demonstration School. The school has once again officially earned its AVID revalidation, reaffirming its commitment to preparing students for success in college, careers and beyond.
See AVID in action, learn what the program means to the Braves and watch Indian River receive this special recognition! 🎥 Congratulations to the students and staff at IRMS!
