To get a show on stage, it takes a team. Pick up a program at any of our shows, and you'll see the immense amount of teamwork it takes to give our kids the chance to shine.
At our most recent CHS production, "Mamma Mia!", our co-directors took on a pretty intense workload to get the show going. Amanda Hughes, our music director, drives the pit orchestra and teaches the actors the songs to make the show shine. Our dramatics director, Kim Bird, brought the script to life and implements much of what you see on stage from our actors, with a major hand in presentation and choreography. And dozens of others work with our students on stage and behind the scenes to bring the entire vision to reality.
Hughes will be working with Stephanie Heath and a crew that features many of the same dedicated people to bring you their upcoming spring drama production "A Midsummer Night's Dream" on May 9th and 10th.
Want to know more about the teams behind our plays and musicals, or re-live your own CHS memories on the stage? We are getting started on a new program archive to put all of the information on your favorite CHS shows from years' past in one location.
You'll find the program from Mamma Mia! in there now, and we'll add more as we find them, as far back as we can go. Once we've exhausted our supplies, we'll gladly open up the floor for submissions at a later date. We will also look into doing Middle School ones down the line.

This week, we celebrate National School Social Work Week, a time to recognize and appreciate the profound impact our school social workers have on our school community. They tirelessly provide emotional support, guidance, and resources that enhance our students’ academic and personal growth. Whether it’s leading group sessions, one-on-one counseling, or developing strategies for overall student well-being, our Social Work team is always there with a compassionate heart and expert advice.
This week in their Art time with Miss Lis, Mr. Crawford's pre-k students made these abstract action drawings using markers, paper, and an old favorite - compact discs!
March is Music in Our Schools Month, and this will be a special one as the National Association for Music Education (https://nafme.org/) celebrates MIOSM for its 40th year!
Per NAFME, the purpose of MIOSM is to raise awareness of the importance of music education for all children—and to remind citizens that school is where all children should have access to music. MIOSM is an opportunity for music teachers to bring their music programs to the attention of the school and the community, and to display the value that school music brings to students of all ages.
For us in Camden, that means concerts for Middle and High School students! We hope to see you at one or more of them this month to support our students!
