📅February is Black History Month, and to celebrate, CCHS is highlighting Black Alumni who have made a difference in the world.
📚Latanya Jenkins '94, was posthumously inducted into the CCHS Hall of Fame this year for her incredible academic achievements as a researcher and librarian at Temple University.
🎓Latanya grew up in Pennsauken, earning her undergraduate degree at Franklin & Marshall and Master's in Library Science at Drexel University.
☘️Her time at CCHS was filled with activity. “Tanny,” as her friends called her, was a member of the National Honor Society, the French National Honor Society, the Mock Trial Team, the Editor of the Shamrock Newspaper, a member of Student Government, President of the Biology Club, Vice-President of the French Club and of the Health Careers Club, a member of the Black Culture Club, the Drama club, and the Respect for Life Club.
🦉Latanya was a respected academic/reference librarian at Temple University and was the liaison for Temple’s Africology and African American department.
🌎She accomplished so much during her all-too short life, including: being an award-winning co-author of the book, Government Information Essentials, which was awarded the Margaret T. Lane & Virginia F. Saunders Memorial Research Award in 2019, she was an International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions fellow for the World Library and Information Congress, and a past Association of Research Libraries diversity scholar. She was part of the first inaugural meeting of the Association of African American librarians, Archivists and Curators. She was also an ally and member of Temple University & University Press Diversity & Inclusion committee.
☘️CCHS celebrates your memory, Latanya! We are inspired by your legacy.
The annual CCHS Canada trip arrived in Montreal on Wednesday after an overnight bus ride. For the first day, students were able to overlook the city of Montreal from Mount Royal as the city was awakening. They visited St. Joseph's Oratory, the largest shrine to St. Joseph in the world. The students had the privilege of attending Mass in the crypt and later toured the Basilica, an architectural gem! They then toured Old Montreal learning about its history from tour guide, Monsieur Chuck.
The group is now in Quebec City, where they enjoyed a delicious dinner in a trendy neighborhood followed by a visit to Martello Tower, number two, where the students took part in an interactive activity learning about the lives of British soldiers defending the tower during the war of 1812.
Camden Catholic celebrates Black History Month by highlighting the accomplishments of Black Alumni who are and who have made a difference in the world! First up is one of our most recent graduates, Anyah Griffin '23, who was an incredible student leader during her time at CCHS, and continues to thrive at college.
She is currently a freshman at Hampton University and is involved in many campus activities, in addition to working towards her degree in strategic communications. She shares "I've had the pleasure of meeting remarkable individuals and attending enlightening talks by Vice President Kamala Harris and actress Taraji P. Henson. My schedule has been bustling with activity, as I've become involved in various organizations such as the Hampton Script, where I serve as a PR and Media Specialist, and as a member of the National Association of Black Journalists here at Hampton. Additionally, I've joined the Hampton arts organization, HBCU Canvas, and am participating in the school's Generation Action program."
Anyah has also secured an internship at Dollar Tree Stores Inc. as a corporate communications intern, and she'll have fun participating in the upcoming Hampton Freshman Fashion Show.
🎭Let the creative process begin! Our students have embarked on preparing for an historic spring musical: The Mystery of Edwin Drood, premiering at Grandi Auditorium March 8-10 & March 15-17.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT on Junior Lily Patullo, who is also an InSpire Marketing Intern. Lily shares her story of supporting a cause near and dear to she and her family:
From October 27 to October 29, 2023, I walked 60 miles in Susan G. Komen's Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk. Ever since I could remember, my mom (Jaime Patullo '94) and aunts (Jackie Brown '96 and Jodi Brown '00) have been fundraising for and participating in this walk. When I was younger, our family would drive out to their route in Philadelphia to cheer them on, brandishing giant homemade posters and waving pink pom-poms in the air. These days are some of my fondest memories, and as I grew older, I wanted to walk, too. Finally, at 16 years old, when I became eligible, I joined my mom and aunts in my first walk. We walked again this year, in the Dallas/Fort Worth route, marking my second walk and their thirteenth.
The BRCA1 genetic mutation runs in my mom's family, which correlates to at least a 50% chance of developing breast cancer in one's lifetime, and several members of our family have battled breast cancer over the years because of this. We walk for those who have survived, those we have lost, and those who continue to be affected by breast cancer.

On November 16th, senior, Gianna Giegerich attended the "Fully Alive" National Catholic Youth Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. Traveling with her St. Mary of the Lakes youth group and brother Dominic, Gianna gathered with over 12,000 young people all with the same passion: a passion for God. Her three days were filled with prayer, worship music, adoration, mass, presentations, confession, and break-out discussions. Several influential speakers in the church shared their experiences about our Catholic faith and the love that God provides for us. NCYC amplified Gianna's Catholic faith in a way she didn't know was possible, leaving her with an unforgettable, "shivers down your spine" experience. Mentioned several times on her trip we are reminded that "God is good all the time. All the time God is good."
