On Wednesday, May 1, 2019, the President of Camden County College, Mr. Donald A. Borden, and staff will be presenting to Haddon Heights High School juniors and seniors on various collegiate topics. Throughout the year, the High School administration has reached out and met with student leaders and discussed several concerning issues that our upperclassman are facing during this transitional phase of their lives. Mr. Borden and his colleagues will present on the registration process, course selection, time management, the importance of a structured daily living schedule, getting involved, and meeting new individuals. They will take questions, as well, from the students. Garnet Country is excited and proud to have members of our local community college present and to help prepare our students for their next step of their lives.
T.H.E. Council
T.H.E. Council organized a women's personal care drive at Camden Catholic High School for Joseph's House of Camden as a part of their Women's History Month efforts. Thanks to those who contributed to the cause, we will help make some women more comfortable and provide much needed items to them in the coming months. T.H.E (Together Honoring Everyone) Council is a student driven group with the intent to celebrate racial and cultural diversity at Camden Catholic. T.H.E. Council is moderated by faculty members and includes participation from students in each grade level. As our world continues to evolve, Camden Catholic students, faculty, staff and administration need to continue to encourage our community’s well-being, and help to foster collaborative learning among our many diverse students in pursuit of our school’s mission: to educate lifelong learners and leaders in a global society in the Catholic tradition.

CCHS Students Support Their Own
CCHS students stepped up to the plate in a big way to surprise one of our dining hall workers with a $2,500 check to help support Joe’s family as his son battles brain cancer. "We found out this year that Joe's son had brain cancer and we all felt we needed to help out with the financial burden during the holiday season," said Bridget Sipera, McAuley Program Chairperson and Head Girls Lacrosse Chairs at Camden Catholic. So, she organized a dress down day and donation collection for this effort. The money raised showed just what Joe means to those who teach and learn at the school every day. Spiera said he is just an "amazing guy."
Irish Basketball on the right track
In a season where it’s experienced ups and downs, the Camden Catholic High School boys’ basketball team looks to have taken a turn for the better. Winners in six of their last seven, including three straight, the Irish find themselves a much different team than the one that lost by 29 points at home against Shawnee on Jan. 19. http://ow.ly/zDoN308Tua7
CCHS has successful fundraiser
Camden Catholic High School hoped to raise $50,000 during its first one-day giving event, based on a theme of the school's Irish roots and held on St. Patrick's Day. The luck of the Irish was with organizers, who reached that goal by early afternoon and went on to raise $63,302 by day's end. The school turned to alumni and current students and their parents about three weeks before the event. It collected "Irish Giving Day" donations through the annual alumni newsletter and letters to donors, in addition to phone and online donations. Irish "Giving Day" Thank You.htt p://bit.ly/1aqpy3e
