Capital Project

On Oct. 18, 2022 voters in the South Colonie Central School District approved two capital project propositions that together will result in more than $120 million in improvements across the district.

This update for the Next Generation Capital Project highlights significant improvements at Colonie Central High School, including the installation of a new turf field and scoreboard. Future upgrades will include a resurfaced gym floor, a modern concession area, an upgraded press box and grandstand, and a new athletic center with updated team and locker rooms. These enhancements aim to provide top-quality facilities for students and the community, supporting the school's ongoing commitment to excellence.
