History


The historic Central Technical High School (commonly known as Central Tech or CT) closed in 1975.

The building that currently houses ITC, was originally an annex of the historic building and has long housed the district's vocational and technical programs.

During this time, CT's courses were offered to junior and senior students only, with general education courses being completed at one of the district's traditional high schools.

By the early 2000s, many in the community were advocating for a renovation of the historic building, establishing a fifth high school. This dialogue eventually led to the creation of the Joint Schools Construction Board and the renovation of many Syracuse schools.

The annex building, located on East Adams Street, officially opened as a comprehensive high school in September 2007, welcoming full-time, freshman students. Interior renovations and additions were completed in 2012.
