CCSD Class of 2023

On Sunday, May 22nd, 2016, 5th graders from Jackson Elementary combined with the other 5th graders from Cambria Elementary for a 5th grade party sponsored by the PTOs of both schools. Students were invited from 1-3pm to Central Cambria High School to mingle, swim, and entertain in the gym while a DJ played music.. A photo booth was on hand for the students to also use with different props. The PTOs also provided pizza from Vinco Pizza and made homemade ice cream sundaes for all the students. Great time was had by all!! Best wishes to the Class of 2023 as they move on to the middle school this fall.

CCSD Community BBall

On Friday, March 18th the Central Cambria community joined together for a night of entertainment to help raise money for the American Cancer Society. The evening featured three basketball games, along with children’s crafts and activities, door prizes, and a basket raffle. In the very first Junior High boys vs. girl’s game, it was the girls who came out victorious! In the female student vs. faculty game, it was the students who took the win, and in the final game, it was the male faculty members who secured the win for the 3rd year in a row! Excellent job to all players’ young and old(er)! A huge THANK YOU to all those who helped make this event successful by donating their time, resources, skills, food, and beverages. Together we raised $2576.25 in support of finding a cure for cancer! None of this would have been possible without the help and dedication of a supportive and caring administration, faculty, student body, and community.

“The Secret Garden” performs at CCHS

On Nov. 19, 20 and 21 at 7:30 pm, CCHS Musical Theatre  will present “The Secret Garden”.  The story is based on a children’s book that was adapted into a Broadway musical. It centers on Mary Lennox, a young English girl who is orphaned in colonial India and is sent back to England to live with her Uncle Archibald Craven.  Mary’s perseverance and strength allow her to bring light to a gloomy, haunted household where she creates positive changes in the lives of those around her. Lavish sest and costumes and beautiful Broadway music performed by the talented vocalists of our musical theatre program bring the story to life at CCHS Auditorium.  Tickets are $8.00 and can be bought at the door or reserved by calling 472-8860 ext. 700 or online at boxoffice@cencam.org.
