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!

Thursday was Class Night, and Monday is Awards Night at CHS! Tonight's program begins at 6:30 in the CHS Auditorium.

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.

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.

Let's Roll! Camden and New Hartford for the Section III Class A Softball title! 5 PM first pitch at Carrier Park in Syracuse.

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.

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)
