Dear Families and Staff,
Earlier today, Camden Central High School administration was made aware of a potential verbal threat to school safety. Law enforcement are currently investigating the report. Based on their investigation a verbal threat was made by a student, but it's been determined that there is not an imminent threat to school safety.
A new Tennessee law requires school districts to notify families whenever law enforcement is contacted in connection with a potential school threat.
The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. We encourage everyone in our
community to continue reporting any concerns they may have. If you see or hear something that could represent a safety issue, please speak up.
We will communicate with you if additional information becomes available. In the meantime,
thank you for your attention to this update.
Sincerely,
Mark Florence, Director of Schools

"To ensure the safety of all spectators and student-athletes, backpacks will no longer be permitted at Tommy Richardson Stadium in Camden Central High School. Please note that all bags, including purses, will be subject to search before entering the stadium.
Thank you for being so cooperative in creating a secure environment, and we look forward to your support of the Camden Lions."

Get ready! The upcoming tax-free weekend is happening from Friday, July 25, to Sunday, July 27, and we’re excited to help you prepare. We've got the school supply lists ready for students from kindergarten through 8th grade—making your shopping trip a breeze! Just a quick heads-up: high school students don’t have a grade-level supply list. To make things even easier, several vendors will be handing out free school supplies and more at the Briarwood Elementary School Gym on Thursday, July 24, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Mark your calendar! School kicks off with a full day of classes on Wednesday, August 6, 2025. We're here to support your back-to-school plans and can't wait to see you at the events! You can also get a PDF of the list by going here: https://5il.co/1ywtw
