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.
Join the Blue Devils softball program on Saturday for the Camden Softball Invitational! All five varsity programs competing finished the 2023 season in the state rankings.

All this, plus the JV squad will match up with Central Square!
There will be food trucks, raffles, and a bake sale as well!
