The Jobs for Delaware Graduates (JDG) program helps students reach academic and career goals, with a curriculum that features 16 school-to-work transition competencies per year.

All JDG students are eligible for membership in the Delaware Career Association (DCA), a youth organization that enhances classroom instruction with field trips, group activities and state conferences. The four goals of the DCA are leadership
development, citizenship, social awareness and career preparation. A JDG Specialist is available to assist students throughout the school year, in the summer and 12 months after graduation, to help them find jobs in the field of their choice.

AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination and is also derived from the Latin word meaning “eager for knowledge.” AVID is designed to increase schoolwide learning and performance. The mission of AVID is to ensure that all students and most especially the least served students in the middle are capable of completing a college preparatory path. Strategies used are WICR (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration and Reading), Cornell Note-taking, Socratic Seminars, and Tutorials.
