SAS MS Welcomes County Executive McMahon

Monday, February 9th, 2026: Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon visited Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School as part of our Career Series!

His visit began with a tour of the building led by our Student Ambassadors, followed by a discussion with a larger group of students. During the conversation, County Executive McMahon shared the responsibilities of his role, explained the different branches of government, and discussed where his position fits within them.

Our SAS Atoms asked thoughtful questions about how he manages people and budgets, as well as what he enjoys most about his job. He shared that his favorite part is being out in the community and spending time with people. County Executive McMahon also spoke about the many career opportunities available to students who work hard and stay focused, and he invited them to visit the aquarium when it opens this summer.

Thank you, County Executive McMahon, for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with and inspire our scholars!
