DIRECTIONS TO CHITTENANGO HIGH SCHOOL
Chittenango High School is located on route 5, seven miles east of Fayetteville.

From south of Syracuse, take Route 81N to Route 481N to Exit 3E (Fayetteville / DeWitt Route 5, 92)

From north of Syracuse, take Route 81S to Route 481S to Exit 3E (Fayetteville / DeWitt Route 5, 92)

From west of Syracuse, take Route 690E to Route 481S to Exit 3E

Chittenango High School is approximately 9.6 miles east of Exit 3E on Route 5. There is excellent signage along the way. The first 2.6 miles are very commercial and has seven traffic lights. The last seven miles from Fayetteville to Chittenango will be rural and residential, and has two traffic lights. From the second, a blinking light, it is 1.8 miles to the Chittenango High School driveway. The high school and athletic fields will be on the left. (If you get to a second blinking traffic light, you’ve gone about 0.1 mile too far). Turn into the school driveway, come up the grade, and park anywhere around the island in front of the building. Come in the main doors. Registration will be directly in front of the auditorium, which is on your right. Someone will meet you and assist further from there.
