Programs and activities

Advance Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a program at McLane that helps students to be organized and prepares them for college. AVID is a community support system which provides tutoring, career planning and mentoring.[2]

The Jason Esquivel Mural Program was established by the district to teach and promote art in 2021. During the first two summers, the program had six schools where murals were painted by the students and artists. The mural at McLane symbolized unity, community, kindness and togetherness. The design had been pre-approved by a school administrator as part of a summer school arts program. The students and local artist Naomi Marie Guzman with other artists collaborated each morning for a week in July, finishing with their handprints and signatures on the mural.[3] Within two weeks the mural had been painted over by the district without consultation or explanation.[4]
