1. Tell us a little about Syracuse’s new STEAM high school.
The City of Syracuse, the Syracuse City School District (SCSD), and Onondaga County are teaming up for the area’s first-ever STEAM high school. It will feature a STEAM-focused curriculum open to students from the SCSD and any Central New York School district.
2. The curriculum will have eight concentrations. What else will it emphasize?
A key element to the success of the high school will be the business partnerships. Central New York has a unique opportunity for collaboration among all stakeholders interested in a thriving urban core. Working in tandem with CenterState CEO, this high school will bring together top companies and arts organizations in the respective fields of STEAM. These industry leaders will provide us with their expertise in mentoring, internships, and job shadows.
Central New York’s colleges and universities have some of the most significant resources available in all STEAM disciplines. Our students can take advantage of these resources and sometimes take college courses alongside university and college students.
3. Who can attend STEAM High School, and what does the application process involve?
Any rising ninth grader in any of the Central New York high schools.
The interview will discuss the programs and how the school will operate.
4. How can families get more information if they’re interested in the school?
