A Better Chance (ABC)

Winchester ABC is a chapter of A Better Chance, Inc., a national nonprofit organization founded in 1963 to provide academically talented male and female scholars of color with expanded educational and career opportunities. Today, more than 1,000 African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American scholars participate in A Better Chance programs in private and public college-preparatory schools throughout the country. Winchester ABC scholars attend WHS and become active members of the Winchester town community.

Mission

A Better Chance (ABC) is a national non-profit that identifies, recruits, and refers qualified, highly-motivated students to outstanding secondary schools, both public and private, which provide scholarships to these students so that they may excel in college and eventually go on to assume positions of leadership and responsibility. 

Winchester A Better Chance (ABC) is one of 21 community school programs (CSP) that partners with A Better Chance. We admit students who we believe are most likely to benefit from the educational, cultural and social opportunities offered by our unique program. Winchester ABC provides a dedicated and supervised home for scholars to live in while they attend Winchester High School and complete the program. 

Our program is fully funded by generous donations from our supportive community, allowing scholars to attend without a financial burden.
