Welcome to A Better Chance of Westport, Connecticut!
This
program selects
motivated
students of color from educationally disadvantaged areas who demonstrate
potential for academic
excellence and
leadership in life.
It offers them the opportunity to live in the Westport community during the school year, attend the town’s award-winning Staples High School, engage with Westport’s residents and participate in the town’s activities.
ABC of Westport gives its young scholars a better chance. The program also gives all of Westport a better chance: to share the community’s resources, to support the program’s purpose and to benefit from its diversity.
Westport ABC graduates three seniors
At the Staples High School graduation on June 19, three of our ABC scholars were among the graduates. The scholars, their families and the ABC community celebrated at the ABC house after the graduation ceremony.
