You might know Dustin Hite by many different titles: Mr. Hite, SPO Hite, Coach Hite, etc.
Now, you can add Chef Hite to the ever-growing list. On Wednesday, he took over the Camden High School kitchen to prepare lunch, as his own chicken riggies were on the menu!
The plan was to make them every other month throughout the year - but they were such a hit among the students that they might be featured more often!
We need to stop by next time, and see how it's done for ourselves!

The Camden Middle School Social Studies department is now up to $980.00 raised for their “Field of Flags” program, and sit just 20 dollars of donations away from another two dozen flags - or 96 in total! Through the support of the CCSD Community, they have almost doubled up their initial target of $500.00.
The “Field of Flags” program will create a powerful veterans’ day flag display at Camden Middle School, along with raising money for the Disabled American Veterans organization, which helps veterans navigate and gain access to employment assistance, education, financial benefits, healthcare, disability assistance, and other benefits they’ve been promised. They also provide transportation to and from VA facilities to ensure all veterans can get the medical care they require.
CMS Students will visit the display for a lesson on Veterans Day during their Social Studies classes on Monday, November 10th.
Here’s how it works:
1. Visit https://support.dav.org/participant/CamdenMiddleSchool.
2. Select the amount you’d like to donate. Currently, they sit at $60.00 of a $500.00 starting goal. For each $250.00 raised, CMS receives two dozen flags with the proceeds going to help DAV in their mission. Assuming they receive the first two dozen flags, the display will proceed as planned.
Questions can be directed to Jeff Doran at jdoran@camdencsd.org.

On Friday morning, the Camden High School Canine Class had two special visitors! New York State Trooper Trevor Noonan and his K-9 partner, Rya, stopped in to demonstrate what it takes to pursue work as a dog handler for the New York State Police. Topics included tracking, handler protection, narcotics detection, and cadaver location, and of course, a little time to say hello too!
Students were also able to see Rya's bite work in action - with a little help from SPO Dustin Hite - and that was quite a convincing demonstration!
