Institute of Central Technology (Central Tech)
The Institute of Technology at Syracuse Central is a newly added high school (once a vocational school) in downtown Syracuse, New York. Central Tech was recently reopened during the 2007-2008 school year with 96 students in their freshman year.
History
ITC was founded as Syracuse Central High School. The historic building had been neglected and has been in a state of disrepair for some time. The project to renovate the building faced funding issues.[1] With all of the funding issues, ITC re-opened in the building next to the original school during the 2007-2008 school year. After the 2009-2010 school year, renovating began on the new school. During the 2010-2012 school years, students attended Levy Middle School during renovations. But at the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year, students moved back into the newly renovated building, where they currently attend classes.
Building
Students attended Levy Middle School from 2010-2012 while renovations were done on the building. At the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year, students and teachers moved back into their newly renovated building.
Physical education
With the new renovations to the building, came a brand new gym for ITC. Everything is brand new, and will be completed by Thanksgiving 2012.

ITC has Varsity and Junior Varsity Football and Basketball teams. They also have District Bowling, Baseball, and Lacrosse teams. For girls, there is a volleyball team. Track is also available for boys and girls.
