"Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well." – Aristotle
Linda Smith Camp passed from this life on March 4, 2022 after a short, but courageous battle with cancer.

Her Math Counts team won first place at the regional competition almost every year and the teams went on to participate in the state competition for many, many years. Linda was also named teacher of the year at CJHS during her time there.
During her retirement years, Linda was a faithful volunteer with the Carrollton Civic Woman's Club and served as president from 2014-2016. She also volunteered with the Open Hand's Ministry and was recently named to the Advisory Board of Carroll County CASA.
