Pioneer High Principal Lilia Bozigian and AVID tutors Jennifer DeBaca Sandoval and Dyan Acevedo join scholarship winner Ana Cortez to discuss Whittier Union's commitment to first-generation students and Pioneer’s designation as an AVID National Demonstration School on California School News Radio!
In April, Cortez received $60,000 in scholarships from Southern California Edison and the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation.
Cortez credits the college-prep program Advancement Via Individual Determination, or AVID, for helping her to acquire the skills to pursue higher education.
