Introducing the CHS Spring Play.... "Almost, Maine" by John Cariani! The CHS Drama Club will bring two performances to the stage on May 10th and 11th, and admission will be free.
Synopsis: Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.
Auditions will be held in March after the musical wraps up, with rehearsals commencing shortly after. If your CHS student has questions about the production, they can contact Stephanie Heath to learn more.
Congratulations to Camden boys' varsity wrestlers Mason Butler, Bradyn Hatzinger, Talon Kimball, and Kolton Kelley on achieving runner-up status at this weekend's Section III Class B Championship meet held at Homer. The Section III Division II Championship meet is coming up this weekend, and along with it is another chance to go for the gold! Good luck, gentlemen!
To the BatCave!
The evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz doesn't stand a chance against this Perry the Platypus Co2 dragster from our Design for Drawing and Production classes at CHS!

Every year, students from Camden High School submit a select number of artworks to the CNY Scholastic Art Competition.
Since 1923, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have recognized the vision, ingenuity, and talent of our nation’s youth, and provided opportunities for creative teens to be celebrated. Through the Awards, students receive opportunities for recognition, exhibition, publication, and scholarships. Students across America submitted more than 330,000 original works last year in 29 different categories of art and writing.
This year, at the regional level, there were thousands of entries from more than 90 Central New York area school districts. Three students from Camden have received awards in this very prestigious competition.
Dolmae Honrales received 1 GOLD KEY for her self portrait drawing titled “Euphoria” and one Silver Key for her watercolor painting titled “Serendipity”.
Kaylynn Witzigman received 1 Silver Key for her watercolor painting titled “Aurora”
Matt Melancon received 1 HONORABLE MENTION for his self-portrait drawing.
This winning artwork will be displayed with the other regional winners at OCC through the month of February. Congratulations to Dolame, KayLynn, Matt and to all of the students who submitted work for the show.
Congratulations to sophomore Peyton Kelley on her fifth place finish at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association's 2nd Annual Girls' Wrestling Invitational. That finish landed on the podium in the 94 lb. division!
She becomes Camden's second podium finisher after Rylie Meagher made it in the inaugural event. Meagher competed at 100 lbs, and Abigail Hebble was also in action in the 165 lb. division!
The best is yet to come. All three athletes have years ahead of them yet, and NYSPHSAA is launching a formal State Championship in the sport for the next school year!

The Camden Girls' Varsity Volleyball program recently held its senior night festivities for the Class of 2024! Senior players Brooke Musch, Avery Prievo, Leah Runion and Braelin Page, along with manager Kevin Gloude, have played an important role in positioning the Blue Devils at an outstanding 11-0 start, and building off the great strides the program made last year under head coach Katherine Migliori.
