We鈥檙e proud to celebrate our high school AVID seniors who were honored at the 2026 AVID Senior Standout Recognition & Scholarship Presentation! Falak Kumari from Irvine High School was recognized by the Orange County Department of Education at the Irvine Barclay Theater on April 15 for her resilience, grit and heart that define our AVID program.
As Falak embarks on her respective journeys beyond high school, her impact will undoubtedly continue to inspire and uplift those around her, leaving a lasting legacy of excellence and service.
鈥淎VID strengthened my confidence, organization, and determination to pursue higher education. It taught me how to advocate for myself, manage challenges, and stay focused on long-term goals. AVID didn't just prepare me for college鈥攊t prepared me for life.鈥

"Falak is a highly motivated student with a clear focus on her future success. She consistently demonstrates academic dedication while actively participating in extracurricular pursuits such as dance and community service through campus leadership clubs. Falak reliably meets all deadlines and approaches challenges with resilience and determination, seeking thoughtful solutions rather than allowing setbacks to deter her progress. Her strong work ethic, leadership, and commitment to growth make her a deserving candidate for scholarship support."
