2024 Graduation Information for Camden Central High School
The 2024 Camden Central Graduation will be this Friday night at 7:30. Weather permitting, the ceremonies will be held at Wright Field.
If inclement weather conditions prevent an outdoor ceremony, we will decide to hold the event in the gymnasium. Moving to the gymnasium will limit our space. We kindly request parents and guests refrain from moving to the floor to take pictures during the ceremony. We will have a photographer to take pictures of each senior. Your cooperation in following these guidelines is greatly appreciated.
Commencement ceremonies are a formal recognition of our students' academic success. We want to ensure that all parents and guests hear and see their graduates as they walk across the stage. Please help us make this a formal event for our students.
If you have questions about the location, you can check the Camden Central or Benton County Schools Facebook page or call Camden Central at 731-584-7254.
