Overview

Cicero – North Syracuse High School hosts grades 10-12 and serves approximately 2,300 students. The school principal is William LaClair. Cicero – North Syracuse High School is often called C-NS. C-NS hosts many extracurricular activities, such as student clubs and sports teams. C-NS is the home of the Cicero-North Syracuse "Northstars" Marching Band. The school hosts about twenty co-ed sports, with New York State Championship titles in men's cross-country running in 1989, 1995, and 1996, and in girls softball in 1989, 1999, 2004, 2006 and 2013. In 2006, CNS won the Syracuse Area Live Theater Youth (S.A.L.T.Y.) award for best High School Musical with their performance of "The Music Man" During the 2006-2007 school year, the school has hosted two school wide summits, one focusing on dress code.

In 2009, a math teacher at Cicero-North Syracuse was accused of robbing a bank at gunpoint. He was previously arrested for stolen license plates. He was sentenced to 4 years in jail.

In 2010, the Boys and Girls varsity basketball teams became Section 3 champions for the first time in school history.

Issues

C-NS faces the problem of overcrowding. As of 2010, the school reportedly served 2,300 students. Although many district restructuring plans have been discussed by the North Syracuse Central School District Board of Education, there have been no changes made to accommodate this overcrowding problem.

Although the school experiences overcrowding, over 80% of students have passed all of the New York State Regents exams. As a result, the school was given a satisfactory report.
