Camden Central School District -

Seniors at Camden High School will soon have their own dedicated multi-use study and socialization space at their disposal. The soon-to-be completed senior lounge will feature student-constructed tables and chairs from our technology classes, complete with power outlets. A demo unit of the student-constructed furniture is currently on display in the main lobby if you'd like to see for yourself!

On Thursday, January 29th, the Mohawk Valley Jugglers Co-Op Hockey Program held its annual Teacher Recognition Night at the Utica University Nexus Center. Players choose a teacher from their home district to be recognized for their impact. For this year’s event, Camden junior Evan Buckingham chose Camden High School teacher Kimberly Dean!

Kim was unable to make it, so our own Megan Buckingham stepped in to help accept the honors on her behalf.

The Jugglers are a cooperative effort between Districts in the Utica/Rome area that do not sponsor their own boys' hockey program. There are currently 11 schools represented, including Camden, on this year's roster.

Whether it's on our courts, our fields, our track, our trails, and our sidelines.... At Camden, she can make it happen.

The Bobcat community also took a moment to recognize the 100 students achieving perfect attendance for the month of January - and a challenge was issued by Mrs. Zangrilli for February! Throughout the month, she has set a goal for an average of 95 percent daily student attendance, or about 280 students in the building each day. We'll chime in with a few updates throughout the month!
