Mark your calendars for Friday, March 15th - it's Irish Giving Day 2024! And this year marks the 10th anniversary of this annual day of giving! If you have given on any of the last ten Irish Giving Days, thank you so much for your generosity. Your gifts have helped Camden Catholic LEVEL UP tuition assistance, scholarships, academic programs, facility and learning environments, athletics and arts programs, and so much more.

Below, you can learn more about how our faculty, staff, and students are busy LEVELING UP the Irish Experience in so many ways, thanks again to your continued support.

COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIPS

CCHS is proud to announce guaranteed admissions partnerships with several higher educational institutions! These Catholic universities are honored to partner with us to continue our students' faith formation, uniting with CCHS to develop ethical leaders committed to lives of significance and service to others. Beginning with the CCHS Class of 2025, our students will receive guaranteed admission and scholarship awards ranging from $68,000 to $104,000 to The University of Scranton, St. Francis University, Mount Saint Mary's University, and Holy Family University.

STEM & ROBOTICS 

Every CCHS course employs Design Thinking to encourage collaborative problem solving. Our students are utilizing skills that are transforming them into creative and analytical thinkers. Dr. An Nguyen conceived of the freshman class requirement, Design Thinking, to offer each and every Camden Catholic student the opportunity to use the St. Thomas Aquinas Innovation Lab as they learn the principles of innovative and iterative design. The course was implemented in order to prepare students for four years of problem- and project-based learning, and to encourage the development of 21st century technical, teamwork, project management, and communication skills. The CCHS Robotics Team and STEM Mentorship program have seen immense growth this year thanks to the support of alumni donors.

FAITH FORMATION

Students and faculty help to Level Up the communities around us with daily service projects at Cathedral Kitchen, SSJ Neighborhood Center, Joseph’s House, Ronald McDonald House of SJ, Guadalupe Family Services, and many other locations. In addition, CCHS continues to provide daily mass, bible study, and adoration opportunities to support the formation of a deeply rooted Catholic faith among our students.

ATHLETICS

Irish Field Hockey are champions two years running, winning state titles in 2023 and 2024. Irish Wrestling continues to be a perennial powerhouse in the state of New Jersey, winning our 24th District Title and another Region title this year. The team is sending an unprecedented nine individual wrestlers to the state championships. The Irish girls swim team just won their FIRST division title in 20 years, and Irish Bowling was recently revived and won the 2024 Division Title.

FINE, DIGITAL, & PERFORMING ARTS

The over 100-year tradition of excellence in The Arts at CCHS continues with CCHS’ 102nd Spring Musical, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, involving over 100 students in the cast, crew, and pit. New piano and guitar labs made possible by generous alumni donors offer students an opportunity to learn a new instrument as part of their coursework. A new fine arts studio gives students a place to explore paints, pastels, charcoals, and more, and the 2nd floor Mac lab creates space for instruction in 21st century creativity through digital arts and graphic design. 

SCHOLARSHIPS & GRANTS

The Class of 2023 earned $25M in scholarships and grants. Top colleges currently attended by CCHS grads include the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Boston College, Berklee College of Music, Holy Cross, NYU, Notre Dame, Princeton, Tulane, and Villanova. 82% of the Class of 2023 was accepted to their first-choice college.
