Hoover Academies
AOIT (Academy of Instructional Technology)
The Academy of Information Technology is one of the three major programs sponsored by the National Academy Foundation which provides students with knowledge of technology and its ever expanding universe. The Academy of Information Technology gives students the chance to earn college credits dealing with technology while still in secondary education.
VAPA (Visual and Performing Arts)
Education cannot happen just at school – it must go beyond the walls of the classroom. Attending events in the community exposes our children to the variety of artistic expression found in the City Heights and San Diego communities. We want each student to broaden their awareness of the role arts play in the real world and to take advantage of what our Mid City community and surrounding communities have to offer.
FACES (Faces for the Future)
Faces for the Future is a health professions internsip partnership. Students perform their internships at Children's Hospital in coordination with their course work at Hoover High. The goals of the program are for students to become interested in careers in health care and to continue their health career education at a college or university.
AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination)
AVID is a college-readiness system designed to increase the number of students who enroll in four-year colleges. Although AVID serves all students, it focuses on the least served students in the academic middle. The formula is simple: raise expectations of students, and with the AVID support system in place, they will rise to the challenge.
