- History
-
Cicero-North Syracuse High School was built as Cicero High School in 1967, which opened in 1969, and served the immediate Cicero area.
- In 1983, Cicero High School was consolidated with the North Syracuse Central High School (currently North Syracuse Junior High School) in the North Syracuse Central School District to form the current Cicero-North Syracuse High School.
- In 1987, the Cicero-North Syracuse High School Northstars marching band won the New York State Field Band Conference championship.
- In 2004, CNS was host to a sudden rash of multiple bomb threats. Two students were later arrested for at least one threat written on a note and left in a bathroom at the school. In December, 2005 they found the real culprit of the threat. The school was affected by a similar rash of these threats in 1996. Also of note a fire ensued as a student set fire to a restroom trash can in 2005.
- 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 of Cicero-North Syracuse was accused of robbing a bank at gunpoint. He was previously arrested for stolen license plates, and for owing more than $9,000 in bank and credit card debts. He has been sentenced to 4 years in jail.
- Current Issues
-
Currently, CNS faces the problem of overcrowding. As of 2007, the school reportedly served 2,417 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.
- The turf at the Michael J. Bragman stadium was closed in April, 2008, because it was believed that the artificial turf contained a dangerous level of lead in the paint. In July 2008, the Consumer Product Safety Commission assured that the lead levels were low enough not to cause harm. Therefore, after an August 2008 Board of Education meeting, the turf was reopened.
