But we also hope our scholars make lifelong friends, participate in extracurricular activities and become involved in the local community. ABC students have been class presidents, team captains, National Honor Society members, lead actors in the musical, community volunteers and Model United Nations participants, to name just a few of their school activities. The boys also regularly attend Syracuse University football and basketball games, participate in the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration in nearby Utica, learn to ski or snowboard, and host a very popular annual Halloween party. Trips to the Adirondacks and to the Storm King Art Center have also taken place in recent years.
