Winchester ABC Helps Students Succeed


Nicholas Boulas is an entrepreneur in Massachusetts, where he owns and manages Nick’s Painting Services, Inc., which he founded in 1990. Active in his community, Nick Boulas is a long-time supporter of the ABC House and the Winchester Foundation for Educational Excellence.

A Better Chance (ABC) is a nonprofit that helps highly motivated students find placement in excellent secondary schools and provides scholarships that enable them to continue their educations at universities. Winchester ABC is one of 21 community school programs that partners with ABC and provides a supervised home for students to live while they attend Winchester High School. Since 1971, the house has aided in the graduations of approximately 100 students.

The house is within walking distance of the high school and supervised by staff, including two resident directors, a resident academic coordinator, chef, tutors, and college coaches. Resident directors lead daily activities and the resident academic coordinator focuses on overall academic oversight. The home has space for eight to ten student residents who share housekeeping responsibilities and live communally.
