Tutoring

We want to make sure all parents are aware of free tutoring services for all students. First, Tutor.com is a live tutoring service for all subjects from 8 AM- 10 PM each day. Please visit https://www.kcsdschools.net/tutor for more information. Second, we have a tutoring center after school. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, students may receive tutoring from Mrs. Speaks in Room 409 for English and Social Studies. On Mondays and Wednesdays, students may receive tutoring from Mrs. Ferrugia in Room 210 for Science and Math. Both of these options are at no cost to the students, and they do not need to complete a form or sign-up in advance. Please be in the tutoring room by 3:45.

Junior Leadership Application 2023-2024

Instructional Highlight: Students enrolled in Coach Blaze Gillespie's Family and Community Health classes have been involved in the ProTrainings’ Student CPR program for the past three weeks. ProTrainings is designed for teaching CPR to school children in grades 8 and above. Coach Gillespie is a certified ProTrainings instructor.

These students mastered twenty-five sections of First-Aid, Adult, Child, and Infant CPR online training through Protraining.com. In addition, students spent Monday-Friday over the past two weeks in hands-on skill training. The students became proficient on how to assess their surroundings in emergency situations as well as learning how to help choking victims, how to perform CPR, and how to use an AED.

We are Bulldog Proud to share that seventy-seven of our students are officially trained, skilled, and certified in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR.

Students in Mr. Paul LeDuc's English III classes portrayed characters from The Canterbury Tales stories at the conclusion of their unit of study.

From left to right the students are Blake Wooten (The Doctor), William Rushing (The Monk), Wilson Nash (The Cook), Grayson White (The Merchant), Hayden Gainey (The Squire), Jay Washington (The Knight), Lilly Fish (Prioress), Anthony Urbina (The Five Guildsmen).

We are Bulldog Proud of our Academic Quiz Bowl team’s performance today at the state competition. Camden defeated Latta in the semifinal round to advance to the championship. We finished the day as state runner-up to Ninety-Six High School. A shoutout to our students and faculty advisors Amy Goodwin and Genie Wallace for their dedication and many hours of preparation.
