Today, the Camden High School chapter of the National Honor Society took its annual year-end trip! Chapter members toured some of the City of Boston's most treasured landmarks including walking a portion of the Freedom Trail that connects 16 significant historic sites together. They also went to the renowned Quincy Market, and visited the Boston Aquarium!
At Thursday's Section III Class A Championship Meet, two Blue Devils took top honors! Congratulations to Brenden Chennells (800 meters), and Ellie Hite (pentathlon) on securing event championships on their home track!
Brenden ran a 1:59.88 to win and put himself less than a second away from the school record.
Ellie endured the grind of a five-event evening (100m Hurdles, High Jump, Shot Put, Long Jump, 800m) to capture the pentathlon championship. She was a top two performer among the field in all five events. A very special mention goes to Anna Gilsenan, who was a close second in the pentathlon at 2,027 points, and won two out of the five events in it.
McConnellsville Elementary School had a great morning recognizing its "Bobcats With Character" award winners for May! This month's character trait was Integrity!

Let's do it again, Blue!
At the end of Wednesday morning's festivities, we got our fourth grade winners from each school together, along with team photos from Camden and McConnellsville! After a day of spirited competition, the bar has been set high (pun intended) for our third graders on Friday!
It's tough to run a track meet efficiently without a great group of officials to help keep the events moving forward. Luckily for us, we had a great group of student volunteers to help us yesterday! They not only kept our events operating smoothly, but also gave our younger students a glimpse into the leadership skills they'll need to succeed in high school.
On Wednesday, fourth graders from both elementary schools came together to compete as part of the annual Camden Central School District fourth grade track meet! The event is always a highlight of the year, especially for this group as they prepare to become one Blue Devil family at Camden Middle School this fall!
Students strived to do their best while representing their school in six individual track events, five field events, and an exciting mixed 4x100 meter relay. Along the way, the competitors also learned how much they've grown since their third grade meet a year ago!
The CCSD Third Grade Track and Field Meet scheduled for Thursday morning has been postponed to its rain date, Friday 5/30 (Tomorrow).
The start time remains 9:15 AM on the new date.
This change does not affect today's Section III Championship Meet at CHS.
The first copies of the 2025 CHS Yearbook have found their way into the hands of our seniors! It took just seven minutes for everyone who attended today's senior release party to get their copy, and that left plenty of time for signing!
Let's do it again tomorrow for grades 9-11! Students in those grades who have ordered a yearbook can do so on Thursday, 5/29 during tenth period. Snacks and pens will be provided. Remaining books will be distributed on Monday, June 2nd.
If you have any questions, contact advisors Natalie Archibee (NArchibee@camdencsd.org) or Amy Andrews (AAndrews@camdencsd.org)
In art class with Miss Lis, 3rd graders from Miss Sochia’s class at McVille took their artwork outside to splatter paint! (And after the weeks of weather we've had, it's certainly wise to cash in on the sunshine while we can!)
Student took inspiration from artists like Jim Dine and Jackson Pollock to create these awesome projects. Great job, third graders!
On Friday, Camden Elementary School invites you to their "Camden Cares About You Fair"!
This event is open for all in the community to enjoy. Vendors, food, entertainment, and more will be present. In addition, you can pick up your PTO Color Blast Run bib!
The Book Fair is coming! The Book Fair is Coming! Thank you to a generous donation from the Virginia Tuthill Foundation, the Middle School is once again offering our students a chance to shop at the Scholastic Book Fair for books for their summer reading. Next week, (June 2-5) the students will visit the Fair during their ELA classes and select their books. It's the most wonderful time of the year!
The latest edition of the Devils Digest, published by the CHS Newspaper Club, is now available!
