BUFFALO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Buffalo Public School District is the second largest district in New York State, serving over 30,000 students. There are 64 schools operating within the Buffalo City Public School District. Despite its size, there is this synergy across the district because of the community that they have built. Buffalo is a community that runs deep and educates across generations. Individuals such as Principal Marquita Bryant, Superintendent Tonja Williams, CTE Director Robert Harris, and Assistant Superintendent Kelly Baudo are dedicated to their students and working to create a STEM program that sets them up for success.
