for 8th Grade Students

Another way to see CCHS in action and experience the many facets of life as a student. Your school day visit will include: classroom visits, lab activities, lunch and Q&A with faculty, students and administrators. We ask parents to check in with your student at 8AM and to return at 1:30PM for pickup, at which time a member of our admissions staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Every guest receives a CCHS sling bag and tee shirt. 

CCHS requests each applicant for admission take the HSPT. This is for several reasons: 

1. Placement: the test results are used to help place students into the appropriate level of classes (college-prep and/or honors)

2. Academic Scholarships: Students who score 90 or above will qualify for a merit scholarship. Students will be invited to an interview and will need to provide a writing sample. Each student is required to take four Honors or AP classes for all four years and will take part in outside the classroom learning experiences. In order for a student to qualify for a merit scholarship at Camden Catholic, he or she must take the HSPT on October 25, 2025 at one of the testing sites offered on the online registration form and the student’s application must be received by November 15, 2025. If your student has a conflict and cannot make this date work, please email Kayleigh Bianchini, kayleighbianchini@camdencatholic.org.

3. Compensatory Aid: Students who score below 40 percentile will be invited to have extra help with our compensatory education teacher during their lunch periods or activity period.

4. IMPORTANT NOTE: We will accept scores from other high schools outside of the testing sites offered on the registration form for placement purposes not scholarships; however, Camden Catholic cannot request these test scores. The family must request these scores to be sent to Camden Catholic.
