Good Morning Blue Devils, After careful consideration of the conditions, the Camden Central School District will be open on Monday, June 23rd, 2025. All District buildings have power at this time. As a reminder, this is a scheduled half day for Elementary and Middle School students. We understand that several roads may be impassable for our buses and/or your vehicles at this time. With this in mind, some students may not be able to be picked up today and some bus routes may run noticeably off schedule. In the event a bus cannot reach you, and you are still capable of bringing your child to school with your own vehicle, you are welcome to do so. If your child is absent because they are unable to be transported to school, it will count as an excused absence for today. Thank you for your time and consideration as we strive toward a safe opening for staff and students.

Good evening Camden CSD School Community, We hope everyone is safe and managing through this latest storm. We are monitoring the power outages and road conditions throughout the District. If the situation requires us to close school tomorrow, we will exhaust our snow/emergency days. As stated in our communication from May 23rd, it would become necessary for staff and students to report for an additional half day on Friday, June 27th. At this time, we are hoping that the conditions will improve and we will be able to hold school tomorrow. We will keep everyone updated as we continue to monitor the conditions throughout the evening. Stay Safe.

Senior student-athletes Jacob Lago and Olivia Hooker had the opportunity to represent Camden High School at one of Section III’s most prominent and prestigious events on Monday, June 9th. The duo were recognized as part of the 2025 Section III Scholar-Athlete Award Dinner held at Onondaga Community College. Held each year, the Section III Scholar-Athlete Award Dinner celebrates selected high school seniors from all 106 member schools who have distinguished themselves from their peers through exemplary athletic and academic achievement. To be eligible, a student-athlete must hold at least a 90 percent cumulative grade point average while participating in a varsity sports program. Each school can nominate two student-athletes who meet the requirements. Lago competed in cross country, spring track and field, and alpine skiing this year. He will depart CHS as the Class of 2025’s seventh-ranked graduate. He recently finished up a manufacturing/engineering internship at International Wire, and plans to enter the United States Navy’s Nuclear Propulsion Program. Hooker competed in soccer, volleyball, and spring track and field in her senior year. She will graduate sixth in her class, and plans to attend Penn State University to study Physical Therapy/Kinesiology. All Section III Scholar Athlete Dinner honorees receive a scholarship check and a commemorative plaque. There are also additional awards from the sponsors, and Olivia was fortunate enough to receive an additional award from Section III’s ticketing partner, Hometown Ticketing!

Quick business trip this afternoon. The Blue Devils open state play with a sub-regional matchup at 5 PM on the campus of Onondaga Community College.

To borrow from a certain movie title..... we certainly saw some Fast Times (and great field event marks, too) at Camden High during last week's Section III Championships!

Congratulations to Camden High School students Thomas Ross, Jackson Wolford, and Josh Stevens on achieving “Half Ton Club” status during the 2024-25 school year! The “Half Ton Club” is a recognition program that acknowledges students for hard work and commitment to their goals in the weight room. To become a member, a student must complete three lifts meeting or exceeding 1,000 pounds. The three lifts consist of the squat, deadlift, and bench press. Ross completed his milestone in October, and Stevens and Wolford completed theirs on the same day in May! Students interested in joining this club should see Mr. Klepadlo at Camden High School for more info.

Best of luck to our Blue Devil Track and Field athletes that have earned the opportunity to participate in the Section III State Qualifier meets today and Thursday!
