The Busiest Time of the Year

outside class
The weather has been unbelievable!  This early dose of summer is pulling many of our classes outside.  Students and their teachers are taking every opportunity that they can to learn and work in the fresh air and warm sunshine.

Although there is much to do in preparation for the close of a school year and for some, a commencement, it is so refreshing to see that student energy that arrives in the spring. It is election week at the high school and many of our student leaders are campaigning for the opportunity to represent their classmates as Senate Officers and Student Council Representatives. The big election is today, and we wish them all the best of luck!


Ten of our senior high school athletes signed their
Athletic Letters of Intent on Wednesday, May 19, 2021. These Wildcats will be headed out to Division 1 and Division 2 programs to continue on in lacrosse, basketball, and baseball. Click here to read the article listing the students, their sport, and the college they will attend.

Mock Crash/Yearbooks/Senior Ball


  • On Friday, June 4, 2021 seniors will have a shortened day in preparation for their Senior Ball. Students should report to their first period class for attendance. BOCES students, remote students, and late arrival students should report to cafeteria 1 for attendance. Following attendance students will get information about the Senior Ball and then move to the front of the building for the Mock Crash, led by Officer Nightingale of the Camillus Police Department. This can be an emotional presentation, and our school counselors will be available for students, if needed. Following the Mock Crash students will be dismissed. Yearbooks will also be available for pick-up at this time. More details regarding the Senior Ball will follow soon!

All areas will be set up on the west side of the building, at the technology office, and atrium entrance.

  • The drop off will be available during school hours, 7:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.



Regents Exams


  • Report cards were mailed out last week with a letter about our upcoming Regents examinations. Although New York State is only offering four Regents exams this year, it is important to know that students are only allowed to take the exemption if they are passing the course in which the exam is offered.  The four exams offered are Earth Science, The Living Environment (Biology), Algebra 1, and English Language Arts. All students wishing to take the exemption for their exam day will need to return the waiver in the letter by May 24. The letter is attached here
