About The Position

The Syracuse City School District is seeking a dedicated and diverse team of educators to partner with them in moving the district toward its goals. The district represents 35 schools and programs, serving approximately 19,000 students Pre-K–12. Successful SCSD educators are passionately committed to urban education and all in for Syracuse students. They believe strongly that all students can learn at high levels, demonstrate commitment to serving urban students, schools or communities, and to closing the achievement gap. They demonstrate willingness to put the interests of students above all others, actively contribute to a culture of high expectations in their school and district, and adapt seamlessly to the complexities of the urban school environment. The district offers 120 different athletic teams for students in grades 7-12. Our coaching staff consists of certified, dedicated people who enjoy working with our student athletes. They are individuals who work very hard and care a great deal about the individuals for which they are responsible. In grades 7-8 we offer a comprehensive modified program, which serve as a "training ground" for skill development and participation. Winning is NOT emphasized and large numbers on teams are encouraged for maximum participation. We stress discipline, enjoyment or play, competition, and dedication to the value that hard work will produce rewards. The modified program prepares our young student athletes for the higher level of high school competition. At the high school level, we stress the development of academics, goal setting, teamwork, leadership and sportsmanship.
