The team that makes it all happen. We are lucky to have some of the best art teachers around here in the Camden Central School District!
A highlight of the District-Wide Art Show is the annual senior show. These works from the Class of 2025 are as unique as the artists who created them!
Some will pursue careers in the field, and others will go on to different paths, but they will have one thing in common: The careful attention to detail, problem solving skills, and creative expression that students discover through the arts will empower them no matter where life takes them!
One of our favorite parts of the District-Wide Art Show is getting photos of the artists with their outstanding work!
Here they are - The Camden Blue Devil Baseball Class of 2025!

Thank you for your role in our baseball program, and we wish you all the best as you get closer and closer to graduation!

Five members of the Camden FFA Chapter had the privilege of attending the 2025 New York State FFA Convention from Wednesday, May 7th, to Friday, May 9th. This year’s event was held at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse. It was a very special occasion to be part of, as the New York State FFA Association celebrated its 100th convention.
Over three days, members Autumn Porter, Kayla Winn, Mary Hall, Patrick Eveleth, and Reese Bates attended workshops and participated in a variety of structured immersive experiences pertaining to the world of agriculture. They had the opportunity to build their personal networks by making friends from across the state, chatting with industry leaders, and learning more about prospective college opportunities.
General session was held each evening, where the students saw multiple keynote addresses including Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets Richard Ball, and Governor Kathy Hochul. They also heard the retiring addresses from the current slate of New York State officers, including treasurer Andrew Curtis Szalach, brother of CHS agriculture teacher and FFA advisor Erin Curtis.
The event also includes lots of awards. Camden High School sophomore Reese Bates received her own FFA Jacket as a “Jacket Award” recipient.
The students also had some opportunities unique to this convention alone, such as the groundbreaking ceremony for the brand new FFA building being constructed for the fair.
Advisors Erin Curtis and Karly Marshman were happy that the students got the opportunity to experience a state convention to its fullest extent.
“We are so lucky to have a wonderful group of students who fully immersed themselves into the opportunities available to them,” they said.
The next New York State FFA Convention will be held from May 14th to May 16th, 2026 in Buffalo.
In technology class with Mr. Bates, this group made their moms a yarn art project with nails and yarn in honor of Mother's Day! Pictured below are: Bailey Conover, Giulianna Mariani-Bartha, and Christina Johnson. Great job!

After learning about Picasso this week, students played a dice game in Miss Archibee's Studio in Art! Given a sheet of paper with facial features, students rolled a number that told them which style to add to their piece. They cut their results out of cardboard, painted with watercolor, and added finishing touches with oil pastel. Come see more work by the Studio in Art students on Wednesday, May 14th at the K-12 Art Show in the High School Auditorium Foyer from 6:00-8:00PM!

The Camden unified basketball team held its home opener against New Hartford on Thursday, May 8th. The Blue Devils locked up a 44-29 win over the Spartans, led by Jayden Osborne's 24 points. Stephen Parry finished with 14 points of his own. Other key contributions came from Peter Trautner, Charles Vaillancourt, and Angelina Kersey!
The Unified Basketball program has become a favorite within our school community, and with great reason. Held in conjunction with NYSPHSAA and Special Olympics New York, Unified Sports empower all students to be part of a team's success. Students with and without disabilities partner together to build skills, have fun, observe the highest standard of sportsmanship and pursue a common goal. And if you've never been to a game, the enthusiasm is truly infectious.

On Thursday, May 9th, the Camden softball program celebrated its class
of 2025 with the annual senior day observance. Ahead of a 25-0 win over Holland Patent, the Blue Devils recognized Camryn Shenk and Kendall Musch for their contributions to the program.
In this matchup, the seniors certainly were a part of the show. Shenk homered and tripled en route to five runs scored and four runs batted in. Musch hit three doubles and added a triple while also scoring three runs. In the circle, Abby Hebble rang up five Golden Knight
hitters on strikes, and Aubree Turk struck out four in relief. The Blue Devils' pitching duo combined for a two hit shutout.
Both senior athletes on the team are bound for Division I programs in
the fall of 2025. Camryn is headed to Le Moyne, and Kendall will lace
up the cleats for St. Bonaventure.
