Today, we celebrated Senior Day for the Camden Unified Basketball Team!
Organized in conjunction with the New York State Public High School Athletic Association and Special Olympics New York, the Unified Sports program provides an accessible and inclusive sports participation experience for students with intellectual disabilities.
In the Unified program, players with intellectual disabilities compete on teams alongside players without intellectual disabilities. Every student is given an opportunity to use their skills to contribute to the success of the team, and together, they unlock the power of pursuing a common goal.
Thank you to Nevaeh Myers, Haley Cook, and Madyson Austin for your contributions to the Unified Sports program. We were excited to celebrate you today!
The Blue Devils are coached by Ashley Chanatry and Sarah Falanga.
Our CHS Students absolutely rocked it at last night's concert! The Jazz Band, Saints, String Ensemble, Acouschicks, Orchestra, Concert Choir, and Concert Band performed to a near-capacity crowd and were terrific! Throughout the night, the ensembles recognized their seniors and their NYSSMA festival participants.
Postseason play begins tonight for Varsity Baseball!

If you left the art show thinking about dinner, there's a chance our CHS students helped. Check out these appetizing sculptures from the Studio in Ceramics Class!
Some of the many highlights from this year's Senior Show at Wednesday's District-Wide Art Show! We were very impressed by what the Class of 2024 had to offer as we walked the halls at CHS, and the commitment to high quality work and attention to detail showed in each piece.
Over 20 CHS students from Mrs. Harney's MVCC Dual Credit US History Class, and a few tenth grade volunteers are out on their annual Florence Settlement Field Experience in the Florence Hill State Forest!
The Florence Settlement is a prominent local historic site that was once the site of a community of free African American farmers in the mid-1800s that was promoted through the efforts of abolitionist Stephen Meyers.
Meyers had secured land from fellow abolitionist Gerrit Smith with the purpose of creating a community where free Black People could own land, establish their own farms, and create economic and social opportunities for themselves in a time period where reaching these goals was especially challenging. It ran until about 1860, when pre-war tensions began to compromise the safety of the residents.
The students are assisting archaeologists with a survey of this historically significant site. Their late morning activity was to search and portions of the ground that show signs of human disturbance over a defined area. This is the sixth time Harney has taken a class here for a full day of field work.
Dr. Michael T. Lucas, Ph.D., the Curator of Historical Archaeology from the New York State Museum, has brought along a magnetic susceptibility meter to scan those areas. This device, in a very basic explanation, is a very sensitive metal detector that can analyze the surface it is scanning in greater detail.
More to come....
Pictures from Varsity Baseball's 7-3 win over CVA on Thursday. The Blue Devils were led by Ryan Leos, who went 4-for-4 at the plate and struck out eight over five strong innings of relief work for the Blue Devils.
Getting ready to go at CHS for today's Mock Crash Demonstration. Juniors and seniors will have the chance to witness a firsthand account of the stark consequences that impaired, or even distracted driving can have.
Last night, we had a tremendous turnout for our 2024 District-Wide "Growing With The Arts" Art Show! Thanks to everyone who came to support our young artists at this incredible showcase of their talents!
It's shaping up to be a magnificent day for a ballgame! Join us as varsity baseball matches up with CVA, with eyes on building momentum for the postseason.
Section III Seeding Meetings are this weekend, so stay tuned for Baseball and Softball playoff dates and times!
One of our favorite features of the District Art Show is the Outstanding Junior Artist display. This year's honoree was Dolmae Honrales! If you've been following along with us lately, you may know that Dolmae recently had work exhibited at the Everson Museum in Syracuse, and our attendees were delighted to see more of Dolmae's quality work right here at CHS!
On Friday and Saturday, the CHS Auditorium was transformed into a small, unincorporated piece of the Pine Tree State as the CHS Drama Club presented "Almost, Maine."
While the place was named Almost, we hope you had an absolutely good time.
Great job, cast and crew!

Camden FFA spent two days moving “FORWARD” with the NYS FFA Convention in Buffalo NY! Over 2,100 FFA members attended this years convention from all across NYS!
Six outstanding FFA members represented Camden to the highest degree. Camden FFA attendees were Matthew Albrecht, Alexis Albrecht, Luke Eveleth, Patrick Eveleth, Izabella Johnson, and Colton Brown.
Convention started out with four students attending tours regarding silo history, and equine racing. One student spent Thursday afternoon “living to serve” with a “Day of Service” project cleaning up the Tift Nature Preserve.
Day 1 ended with a big bang for Camden FFA. Matthew Albrecht received his very own FFA Jacket on stage of “session.” The entire crew of six students also were recognized on behalf of Camden FFA receiving an award for leaving a lasting legacy as a new FFA Chapter. FFA members then spent the remainder of the night absorbing all the impactful moments from guest speakers to Commissioner Ball.
Camden FFA members finished out NYS FFA Convention on May 3rd with a heavy schedule. Alexis Albrecht, Izabella Johnson, Colton Brown, and Luke Eveleth spent the morning in various workshops and delegate meetings. They ended the day with participation in the Floral Design CDE competition. The four students applied new knowledge to the Floral CDE and also learned new things to apply next year in their competitions.
Patrick Eveleth spent the morning touring SUNY Niagara, where he found a passion for the Animal Management program and ended the day with leadership workshops.
Matthew Albrecht started the day with his Agriculture Education CDE where he developed a different appreciation for educations and developed a new skill set of educating others.
All Camden FFA members did an amazing job representing Camden and the community. Students left the convention eager for next years opportunities and a new motivation to move Camden FFA “FORWARD” towards new success!
The CHS Drama Club is set to present its spring production, “Almost, Maine” on Friday, May 10th at 7 PM, and Saturday, May 11th at 6 PM. Admission is free. This 2004 play has been adapted for the high school stage. Set in a fictional locale of the same name, “Almost, Maine” is a critically acclaimed romantic comedy made up of loosely connected short plays about love and loss. Almost is not organized enough for a town, and too populated for a wilderness, but all come to experience the life-altering power of the human heart.
