DDP students in Mr. Petrie's class were locked in on Tuesday as they participated in the "Compression Challenge". With only 3 sheets of paper and limited amounts of masking tape, students were tasked with constructing the strongest 3" x 3" x 3" structure to hold as many textbooks as possible. Evan Gonzalez and Gavyn Hatzinger had the best score of the day at 26 textbooks (or 78 lbs.) with many following close behind. The school record, set in 2022 by Abigail Arnold, still stands at a staggering 36 textbooks (108 lbs.). Great job everyone!
October is Youth Substance Use Prevention Month
It is October 3rd. So it's only fitting that today's theme was to wear pink this year, and the CHS Social Studies department was happy to oblige. The only downside was that it didn't fall on a Wednesday this year, but we're rolling with it.
Fun Fact: This is the 21st occurrence of October 3rd since the movie referenced here, Mean Girls, was released in April of 2004.
By the way, if you addressed four candy grams to Glen Coco, we're sorry to report that he is.... not here.
Attention Blue Devils of All Ages!
Have you ever wanted to see an Apache AH-64 Helicopter from the United States Army up close? Perhaps you’d like to meet its pilots and ask a few questions. Well, you can do exactly that on Homecoming Saturday, October 5th!
The 10th Mountain Division, 6th Squadron, 6th Calvary Regiment will be hosting an on-site helicopter display at Camden High School prior to the evening’s football game against Central Valley Academy.
The helicopter will be landing at CHS at 5 PM, with the designated landing zone currently scheduled for the outfield of the Camden High School front softball field. You’ll have the opportunity for a meet and greet with the pilots of this remarkable machine, and an opportunity to take photos with it if you’d like.
The helicopter will be departing Camden High School at approximately 6:15 PM. Foot traffic on the premises in the immediate vicinity of the landing zone may be briefly restricted during the arrival and departure time periods to ensure a safe and secure arrival and departure.
It's no secret. To get the most out of all that school has to offer, you have to be here. #CCSDAttendanceAwarenessMonth
We're looking forward to a great day of homecoming events on Saturday!
The CHS Social Studies department took today's "Partners In Crime" Spirit Week theme to new heist....
We mean, heights!
Surely, one of those Superheroes from yesterday, that look suspiciously just like them, will be able to stop them. Right?
Last night was Senior Night for the Camden Girls Varsity Soccer Class of 2025! Before their match against Canastota, the Blue Devils recognized seniors Ellie Hite, Samantha Barrett, Katie Phelps, Olivia Hooker for their contributions to the program.
While the Blue Devils fell 1-0, it wasn't for any lack of a fantastic soccer match. Goalkeeper Oliviana Christmas stopped 12 of 13 for Camden, and the Blue Devils forced Canastota keeper Mackenzi Stevens to make 12 saves at her end of the field to stay ahead.
Camden will be at VVS on Thursday night.
Today, October 2nd, is National Custodian Day. Let's take a moment to recognize the hard work our dedicated facilities team does every day to ensure our students and staff have a clean and safe place to do their daily activities. Across the entire facilities team, they do nearly 70,000 combined hours of work annually to keep our buildings clean, our grass cut, and a variety of physical plant items in working order.
The Camden Girls' Varsity Soccer Class of 2025 gets its time to shine tonight. Senior Night will feature a 6:30 kickoff against Canastota. Arrive early so you can be there as we recognize our seniors prior to the match!
Happy Spirit Week Tuesday from the CHS Social Studies Team! Today is Superhero Day at CHS!
October is Attendance Awareness Month in the Camden Central School District!
We encourage all of our families to recognize that attendance matters, and take action to help their students be present, and be brilliant throughout this school year and beyond. Good habits today, lead to good results tomorrow!
With today's CHS Spirit Theme centering around famous actor Adam Sandler, it only made sense for the CHS Theater department to be part of the act!
While we're at it, don't forget to support our upcoming play and musical productions!
The CHS Fall Play will be held on November 1st and 2nd, with three performances. (7 PM on Friday, 11/1) and (2 PM and 7:30 PM on Saturday 11/2).
The CMS Musical is also coming up, and will be held on November 14th and 15th!
Happy Spirit Week from the CHS Social Studies department!
Today's theme at CHS? Adam Sandler day! You're sure to see lots of Happy Gilmore, Bobby Boucher, and Billy Madison today around the building. If you see Mr. Deeds around, please give them a high five for making an especially great costume choice today.
Tomorrow will be Superhero day at the High School. In advance, please let us know if you see Clark Kent and Superman in the same room at the same time at CHS, because that would be big news in Metropolis.
Homecoming Spirit Week is a busy one for home events across the Athletic Department! Come catch your Blue Devils in action all week long!

Four home contests for the Blue Devils today! Come and join us in the fresh air on what is a simply BEAUTIFUL Friday afternoon!
The Syracuse Museum of Science and Technology (MoST) is sponsoring a series of STEM challenges throughout this school year, and Camden CSD students from grades 4-12 have been invited to participate. Registration is free, and materials are provided by the MoST for each challenge.
The museum is hosting a bridge building challenge on Saturday, November 9th from 9 AM to Noon on its campus in downtown Syracuse. Students will compete to build bridges that are as strong as possible, while also being as lightweight as possible.
There are two divisions: A junior division for Grades 4-8, and a senior division for Grades 9-12. Teams can be from 1 to 4 students.
Students would need to register online, and then make arrangements to get their materials from the museum. Opportunities to set up a support session with the MoST staff are available by appointment, and there is a walk-in session scheduled for tomorrow, 9/28, from 9:30 to 12:30 at the MoST.
More information about the contest is available here:
