Welcome to Clinton ABC

A Better Chance, Inc., is a national, independently financed program organized to place talented and strongly motivated minority students in academic programs at outstanding public and private schools throughout the United States. The ABC experience is focused on preparation of its graduates for success in college and in life. Since the beginning of the program in 1963 at Dartmouth College, some 11,000 ABC alumni have continued their education, and over 90% have graduated from college. With headquarters in New York, the national ABC program coordinates and provides logistical support for the 165 community and independent school programs.

When Did ABC Begin in Clinton?

Through the efforts of Don Potter, a geology professor at Hamilton College, and a group of like-minded colleagues and local citizens, Clinton's ABC program began in 1972. A large number of dedicated members of the community pledged $100 to establish the first program in New York State at Clinton High School. There are currently twenty-five community school programs throughout the country, with two in New York State.
