Mayor Walsh Celebrates Reaching STEAM School "Moonshot"

Published on September 03, 2025

“Eight years ago, we established a vision to make Syracuse a growing city that embraces diversity and creates opportunity for all. There’s no greater example of our progress than the opening the STEAM School at the old Central Tech. It was the cornerstone of the Syracuse Surge, our strategy for inclusive growth in the New Economy. Just having plans for such a premier school in Syracuse spurred unprecedented investment in our community over the past several years. Having it open will inspire more and will also improve the lives of children and families in Syracuse and Central New York long into the future. I’m grateful to Governor Hochul and the members of our State Delegation for supporting our dream and to County Executive McMahon, the County Legislature, the Syracuse Common Council, the Syracuse City School District, BOCES and all of our partners who made our STEAM School moonshot a reality.”
