attendance matters

Attendance Matters! Let's Show Up Together This School Year.

At Camden Fairview, we believe that #AttendanceMatters and that absences are lost opportunities to learn in the classroom. Let's work together to make sure students are 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.

Beginning in kindergarten, 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.

CFHS Concert Choir and CFHS Madrigals Earn Superior Ratings at State

Posted Date: 4/09/25 (9:29 AM)

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!”

CFHS Announces Boys and Girls State 2025

We are proud to announce the Camden Fairview juniors who were nominated and selected to attend Girls State and Boys State this summer. Arkansas Girls State and Boys State are immersive civics education programs designed for students who have completed their junior year of high school. For decades, these programs have been teaching young Arkansans to be actively involved in their communities and government at every level. Congratulations to these students:

CFHS Girls State: Neveah McKenzie, Zia’Meyere Pace-Page, Khyrianna Watson, Aria Watson-Ferguson, Leia Freeman, Na’Kedrialynne Malone, and Nakira Henry.


CFHS Boys State:  Layton Edwards, Herman Gill, Charles Lewis, Taylor Davis Scaife, Rodney Frazier, and Ty’Shawn Davis.


Each delegate is assigned a place in a mock political party, city, or county government. During the weeklong program, delegates hold nominations and elections for various roles within their mock government. This experience provides delegates with practical instruction on the duties and responsibilities of both citizens and public officials.

​​Important reminders for all CFSD events ​ ​

All students are expected to be on their best behavior and follow all school policies, including the dress code, while attending school events. Students will be banned from after school activities if they are involved in any fights, disrespectful towards administration or any school personnel, or if any prohibited items are found on them or in their vehicles during an event.

6-12 grade students will have 20 minutes after school activities end to leave campus. Students should notify parents ahead of time to let them know what time the activity will end. Announcements are made prior to the activity ending to remind students to contact parents.

We appreciate your support and look forward to cheering on all Cardinal student-athletes together!
 
attendance matters

Attendance Matters! Let's Show Up Together This School Year.

At Camden Fairview, we believe that #AttendanceMatters and that absences are lost opportunities to learn in the classroom. Let's work together to make sure students are 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.

Beginning in kindergarten, 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.
