On Friday, December 8th, Camden High School was fortunate to be selected to pilot a new presentation for the nationally renowned Rachel's Challenge Program. The Chain Check event was designed to follow the popular Chain Reaction portion of Rachel's Challenge. During this time, adult facilitators worked to do activities that checked in with the students and discussed ways to promote a positive and kind environment at CHS. The event was well-received and a great experience for the students and staff.
Congratulations to CHS Senior Emily Bird!
Emily was selected to receive All-Star honors as part of the Apex Division III Field Hockey showcase held in Spooky Nook, Pennsylvania on November 18th. As an All-Star, she was deemed to be one of the best eleven players out of over 80 attendees while competing in front of dozens of college coaches.
Emily recently committed to attend York College in the Fall of 2024.
Congratulations!
