Authoring some big plans for the school year, perhaps?
The CHS Cross Country Class of 2026 will celebrate Senior Day this afternoon at the Osceola Ski and Sport Resort! As long as everything goes smoothly with logistics, we hope to start today's ceremony around 4 PM, with varsity and modified races to follow against Utica Proctor, Utica Notre Dame, and Holland Patent!

Yesterday, the Camden girls' tennis program paid tribute to its Class of 2026 with the annual senior day observance! The Blue Devils recognized seniors Abigail Arnold, Alexis Albrecht, Mina Jones, and Autumn Porter for their years of dedication to the program before their home match against Holland Patent. The squad celebrated in style with a second clean sweep of the Golden Knights in as many days, which improves their TVL Pioneer Division record to 3-1. Way to go!

At its regular meeting on Tuesday, September 9th, the Camden CSD Board of Education welcomed its new student representative for the 2025-26 school year. Senior Isabella Keller took her new seat at the end of the Board table, where she will advise the board on student-related matters and offer updates directly from student leadership over the course of the year.
In her absence, the selected alternate, senior Ella Winters, will have the opportunity to serve in the same role.
This position is an ex-officio (non-voting) advisory role created from a new directive for all school districts and BOCES statewide to add a student board position. This is a welcome opportunity to help students immerse themselves in public service, and learn firsthand about what holding public office can entail on a local level.
Welcome, Isabella!
Varsity Cross Country started its season on Saturday at the Mount Markham Mustang Invitational. In addition to serving as the season opener, this was also a course preview for the 2025 Section III Cross Country Championships later this year. Brenden Chennells was the quickest among the Blue Devil boys, and Kyla Woodcock set the pace for the Camden girls.
