Friday, June 11th, 2021—On a late Friday evening, members of Syracuse Academy of Science high school's Class of 2021 dressed up for a formal event celebrating all their hard work and accomplishments not only this past year but their entire academic career.
In true 2021 form, many iconic moments looked a bit different from proms to graduation (and many moments in between) this event was no different. While Syracuse Academy of Science high school did not host a prom for its students, they did however do something just as special for its senior class. Students had an opportunity to dress up and attend a formal dining event with their fellow classmates, followed by entertainment from award-winning mentalist, Dustin Dean, who has astounded millions of people around the world with his mind reading and intuitive abilities.

We hope all of our Atoms are having a fantastic, healthy and safe summer!

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2021—Throughout the school year, Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school students have been learning all about butterflies and their life cycle. Atoms had an opportunity to raise, a butterfly from a caterpillar and observe and document its natural life cycle. As the students prepared for their last day of school, they also got ready for a bittersweet moment of saying goodbye and releasing their butterflies into the wild, with hopes of seeing them sometime soon. What a fun STEM activity Atoms, we hope that you can reunite with your butterflies throughout the summer.
Thursday, June 24th, 2021—As Syracuse Academy of Science high school seniors prepared for this momentous occasion in their academic career, this moment and time will most certainly go down in history for more than one reason. Not only did these 'Pandemic Academics' exceed expectations, but throughout this year, they overcame herculean obstacles that life presented.
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2021—As Syracuse Academy of Science Charter Schools put the finishing touches on another albeit historic school year, we invite you to take a look back and reflect and view how far these students have come through the incredible artwork of the Middle School Atoms.
This past school year is one that will most certainly go down in the history books. With obstacles that presented itself, the students came, saw and concurred whatever life threw at them. It was with this mentality, and attitude that allowed them to harness and channel their energy through creativity to create amazing pieces of work, thanks to help and guidance of art teacher, Ms. Brett.
We invite you to take a moment to click here to view the entire year's collection of artwork from the Syracuse Academy of Science middle school Atoms.
Thursday, June 24th, 2021-At Syracuse Academy of Science high school the Senior Video is a time-honored tradition, and one many Atoms look forward to. This video was viewed for the first time by the students at their high school graduation ceremony on Thursday, June 24th.
As the Seniors prepared for their graduation ceremony, each member of the graduating class took a moment to share a few words of wisdom as they prepared to leave behind their legacy.
For the Senior Video, students were encouraged to share their plans after graduation, and give a ‘shout out’ and thank various people in their lives who helped encourage and support them throughout their life and academic career.
Today, we share with you the Class of 2021 Senior Video. Congratulations Class of 2021, this year will most certainly go down in history, and you have shown that you are able to overcome just about any obstacle that is in your path. We wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors. Many Atoms, one Family!
