About the Club: The AVID Club is designed to support the AVID class. All students in the AVID Classes are automatically in the AVID Club. The AVID Club raises money for the AVID class so students may attend college trips - day trip and overnight trips. Funds are also used for other events such as our awards night where we recognize students for the academic achievements as well as awarding our senior with their AVID graduation stoles. We also raise money to award two - three seniors with a book scholarship for their first year in college.

The Black Student Union(BSU) of Golden Valley High School is committed to intellectual, cultural, social and ethnic diversity. All people, from all races and ethnicities are welcome!  

BSU's focus is to build awareness, education, and a new level of consciousness about being an African American or Afrocentric person in today's society.

We aim to teach others about the beauty of Black culture and diversity, showing that through engaging in activities focused around acceptance, respect, and tolerance, we will get a better understanding of others while learning about ourselves.


Collectively, BSU members and participants help one another build positive self-esteem, encouragement to be our best selves, and gain friendships while creating Leaders, Achievers and Believers.

The BSU organization inclusively works to bring about positive racial relations on campus by promoting mutual respect for all cultures and to help its members and participants learn more about their history, culture, and values that make us such a unique and important people that have positively contributed to the global productive welfare of all humans.

The BSU hopes to provide panel discussions, distinguished lecturers, digital services and outreach, community service opportunities and campus-community interactions. And finally, BSU also encourages GVHS students to strive for higher education and career-technical education success to continue to change the trajectory of students' livelihoods for generations to come!  Each one, teach one!
