Cicero – North Syracuse High School hosts grades 10-12 and serves approximately 2,300 students. The current school principal is James R. Froio. Cicero – North Syracuse High School is often called CNS. CNS hosts many extracurricular activities, such as student clubs and sports teams. CNS is the home of the very talented Cicero-North Syracuse "Northstars" Marching Band. The school hosts about twenty co-ed sports, with state titles in men's cross-country running in 1989, 1995, and 1996, and in ladies' softball in 2004 and 2006 [2] .
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"[3]
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.
In 2010, the Boys and Girls varsity basketball teams became Section 3 champions for the first time in school history.
Currently, CNS 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.[4]
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.[5]
In 2013, Cicero-North Syracuse High School will be taking out the turf and putting in artificial grass.[6]
