About The Position

The Syracuse City School District is seeking dedicated and diverse educators to partner in its transformation and innovation phase, aiming to ensure all students graduate high school college and career ready. The district serves approximately 19,000 students across 35 schools and programs, with a significant percentage qualifying for free/reduced lunch, receiving special education services, or being students of color. Successful educators in the district are passionately committed to urban education, believe in high student achievement, and are dedicated to serving urban students, schools, and communities. Henninger High School offers 120 different athletic teams for students in grades 7-12, with a coaching staff that is certified, dedicated, and focused on student athletes' development. The modified program (grades 7-8) emphasizes skill development, participation, discipline, enjoyment, competition, and the value of hard work, rather than winning. The high school teams (freshman, JV, Varsity) focus on refining skills, higher-level competition, academics, goal setting, teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship.
