🏫 Message from Camelback High School
Help Us Support Camelback’s Amazing Staff!
For over a decade, Camelback High School has been without a proper staff lounge—a much-needed space where our hardworking educators can recharge and connect.
As we prepare for the 2025–2026 school year, we are excited to announce that a space has been identified on campus, and plans are underway to transform it into a welcoming and comfortable lounge for our staff.
How You Can Help
We’re calling on our Biltmore neighbors for support! If you have gently used furniture or appliances—such as chairs, tables, couches, artwork, coffee machines, mini fridges, or anything that can add comfort and joy—please consider donating.
Your contributions will help create a space that shows appreciation for the educators who give so much to our community.
📧 To donate or learn more:
Contact Principal James Arndt
