About the School

The High School for Leadership & Public Service ("Leadership") was founded 1993 by the New York City Department of Education in conjunction with Syracuse University as one of 30 small, theme-based schools offering an excellent college preparatory education. Leadership is housed in a modern, 14 story building located in downtown Manhattan's financial district. Graduating students who meet prescribed criteria are given priority consideration for admission to Syracuse University, with as much as 100% of demonstrated financial assistance.
