The first graduating class of 1899 had only seven students, according to Pam Tibbetts, in a news release. As the class sizes grew, it was decided to build the Camden High School on Knowlton Street in 1904 on four and one-half acres of land for $20,000.

An addition was built in front of the old high school in 1956. It served as Camden High School until Camden-Rockport became a district and the last Camden High School Class graduated in 1965. The CR classes of 66, 67 & 68 also attended Camden High.

Preparations for the 120th Camden High School Alumni Banquet which will be held on Friday, August 14, 2026, at the Elks Lodge, 210 Rankin Street, Rockland, have begun with the first planning meeting of the CHS Alumni Association. More information will be available soon, according to Tibbetts. 

This year’s Banquet will include reserved tables for reunion classes of ’46, ’51, ‘56, ‘61, and ‘66. 

The Association presents scholarships each year. Anyone wishing to donate to the fund may send a check payable to CHS ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP FUND to Dave Ames, 22 Atlantic Highway, Northport ME 04849. 

Leis will be sold for $5 for the popular "Heads and Tails" game.

"Please pass this information along to all Camden High School Alumni and Camden Rockport High School Alumni Classes of 66, 67 and 68," said Tibbetts. "We don’t want anyone to miss out on the chance to socialize with classmates and other alumni, renew old friendships and enjoy a fun filled evening."
