Winchester A Better Chance
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.
In 1971, Winchester ABC welcomed its first scholars. Since then, more than 70 scholars have graduated from Winchester High School. Most have gone on to receive higher degrees.
Access to a strong education is only one facet of A Better Chance. “Winchester ABC shaped my life,” says Keith Randleman, a 1974 graduate. “It allowed me to find out just how good I could be."
