One of the highlights of our K-12 art show is the senior show. Enjoy these displays from members of our senior class as they exhibited the projects that, in their judgment, represent their best work.
The Camden Central School District encourages all District residents aged 18 or older to participate in our 2023 school budget vote and Board of Education elections. The polls will be open on Tuesday, May 16th from noon to 9 p.m. in the Camden High School Auditorium Lobby. You may enter to vote through the front or back of the building in that area.

On May 11, 2023, Mrs. Harney’s MVCC Dual Credit History classes (US & NYS) participated in a local history research field experience in the Florence Hill NYS Forest Preserve. Students worked alongside ten professionals from the NYS DEC, NYS Museum, Hartgen Archeological Associates, and The Stephen and Harriet Myers Residence museum.
Students learned about public lands, state forests, public history, NYS archeology, historic preservation, and the Florence Farming Community from the 1850s.
The Florence Farming Settlement was established around 1845 near this site. It was intended to create a community where free blacks could own land and farm. Local abolitionist and philanthropist Gerrit Smith gifted the land to several settlers and through the agency of Stephen Myers, roughly 80-90 black families called Florence home by 1849. For a few years, this small community flourished until the growing tension leading up to the Civil War compromised their safety. After 1860, the Florence Farming Association ceased to exist and the community disbanded.
Students had opportunities to use research equipment like GPS/GNSS Trimble, GPS handheld devices and metal detection. Students contributed 6 hours of public history research that also counted as community service hours. Professional archeologists from the NYS Museum modeled additional data collection techniques such as Magnetic Susceptibility Meter. Students learned about the laws around NYS Forest Preserves and state lands from our local Region 6 DEC Forester Jessica Mosher from the Herkimer office who assisted the team with permits for research for educational purposes.
Special thanks to the Florence town board members and Town Supervisor Scott Outrim for their hospitality during the lunch break at the town hall.

Eighth grade students at Camden Middle School are learning what it's like to be a police officer, cosmetologist, farmer, college professor, construction worker, zookeeper, insurance agent, banker, and more as part of Career Day! Look closely and you just might recognize a few familiar faces from our community.
Students met professionals in all of these fields and asked questions about their chosen career path. However, a few furry friends may have been the center of attention. The classes got to meet a calf, and a wallaby joey during their rotations!
With senior ball and junior prom coming up this weekend, Camden High School offered its students a reminder of the dangers posed by distracted and impaired driving by hosting guests from the "International Save A Life Tour". Their impactful program uses a variety of activities that demonstrate the risks of poor choices behind the wheel.
To all attending this weekend's activities: Have fun, be safe, and make positive choices.
