History

Central Tech was founded as Syracuse Central High School. The historic building has been neglected and has been in a state of disrepair for some time. Currently, the project to renovate the building faces funding issues.[1]

Building

Students currently attend classes at Levy Middle School while renovations are being done on the old school.

Physical Education

Since the main building is still under remodeling, students do not have a gym. Instead they have a small but spacey, shop room and walk to the nearby YMCA to use the gyms. Students are able to use the weights in the back of the room. Students also are able to use many physical game stations including the popular Dance Dance Revolution videogame. The room also serves as locker room for the football team.

Sports

ITC has a football team with members in their Freshman and Sophomore year. They have a basic full-length field to practice on. The Central Tech Eagles use the Corcoran High School's football fields for home games. For girls, there is a volleyball team. Central Tech will have two basketball teams (for boys and girls). There may also be a Lacrosse team this year.
