Camden High School -

The latest edition of the Camden High School student-produced newsletter, the Devils Digital Digest, is now available! Our students detail the results of the Shakespeare Competition, preview the upcoming CHS musical, offer details about the new Clay Target Club, and discuss recent athletic achievements. All that and more in the link below! https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/2998/CHS/4039542/February_Issue_2024___1_.pdf This club is advised by Kari Carpenter and Stephanie Heath.

Is your student looking for a spring sport? How about golf or tennis? The Camden CSD Athletic Department is looking for interested athletes for both sports for the Spring 2024 season. Grades 7-12 are eligible. Please note a Middle School athlete must pass the APP test for varsity tennis competition. High Schoolers can see Mr. Mazzaferro with questions. Middle School students should see Mr. Klatt for more information on how to get started. Once that's squared away, you can register with FamilyID/Arbiter here! https://students.arbitersports.com/organizations/camden-central-schools-athletics

Pictures from Friday's Section III Quarterfinal at Chittenango. Not the result we had hoped for in a 58-53 loss, but certainly an effort to be proud of as the boys battled all the way down to the wire. The Blue Devils wrap up a terrific season at a 16-5 overall record.

Camden High School art students have been preparing posters for the American Legion Auxiliary Poppy Poster Contest! The national organization holds this contest each year to give young people the opportunity to showcase their artistic talents and creativity, while also bringing to light the work the Auxiliary's Poppy Program does to support hospitalized and disabled veterans, while remembering those who have given their lives. The Poppy Program distributes millions of poppies each year in exchange for donations in order to accomplish these goals. National Poppy Day is held on the Friday before Memorial Day.
