Seventh grade students in Mrs. Rachel Jones' AVID class at WMS made a commitment to their future during a recent EPIC contract signing ceremony. AVID is an elective college preparatory program that prepares students to attend a four-year college upon high school graduation.

WMS students are undoubtedly committed to their learning and success.
