CFHS Concert Choir and CFHS Madrigals Earn Superior Ratings at State

Camden Fairview Concert Choir and Camden Fairview Madrigals both received Superior ratings at the ACDA State Festival yesterday! We are so proud of these students and Choir Director Andrey Wright! They’ve all worked Incredibly hard and are so deserving of this achievement. And a big thank you to retired choir director Cynthia Outlaw for her unending support of CFHS Choir!

Mr. Wright said it best: “What a day for the Camden Fairview High School Concert Choir and Madrigals! I am beyond proud to share that both groups received SUPERIOR ratings at the State Festival! This achievement is more than just numbers on a score sheet—it’s a reflection of their dedication, talent, perseverance, and heart.

Music is more than sound—it’s a way to connect, to express, and to rise above. These students have faced challenges, grown as individuals and as a choir, and poured their souls into every note. Through every rehearsal, every moment of doubt, and every triumph, they never gave up.

To see them succeed on this level is incredibly moving—and I am so grateful to be their teacher. Watching their journey unfold has been one of the greatest joys of my career.

Thank you to our families, our school, and our amazing community for the unwavering support you give these students and the arts. Your belief in them makes all the difference.

Congratulations again to our incredible singers—you’ve made Camden Fairview proud!”

Attendance Matters!

At Camden Fairview, we believe that #AttendanceMatters and that absences are lost opportunities to learn in the classroom. Let's start the year off right - at school every day possible! Some absences are unavoidable, but it’s important that students are at school from bell-to-bell as often as possible.

Regular attendance is often an indicator of higher academic performance. Students who are at #SchoolEveryDay also do better academically in middle school and are more likely to graduate high school.
 

Contact info:

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us. Classroom concerns should always be shared with your child's teacher first.

You can reach out to CFHS administrators in the following ways:
