Morse Elementary has officially been validated as an AVID National Demonstration School!

We are excited to share that Morse Elementary has officially been validated as an AVID National Demonstration School! This national recognition is awarded to schools that exemplify excellence in preparing students for college, career, and life through rigorous instruction, strong systems, and meaningful student engagement. This recognition reflects the dedication of our staff, students, and families. Thank you for your continued partnership and support, this accomplishment belongs to our entire Wildcat community!

Even more exciting, PYLUSD is now the only district in the nation with a feeder pattern that includes an elementary, middle, and high school that are all AVID National Demonstration Schools and IB schools! Students in our Morse → Kraemer → Valencia pathway are experiencing a unique educational journey centered on excellence and future readiness.

What are AVID and IB?

  • AVID helps students build skills in organization, collaboration, critical thinking, and leadership.
  • IB PYP develops students as inquirers, thinkers, and globally minded learners through meaningful, concept-based learning.
