Created in 1990 by Dr. Kathleen Clark, CAMS was originally composed of the Southern Academic Complex (SAC) and was relatively small in comparison to now. About six years ago new buildings were constructed to help accommodate the students population. Now phase II is complete. The last building was finished midway through the 2007-2008 school year. Only CAMS seniors are currently granted access to CSUDH's newly completed student union during lunch hours. Dr. Clark retired at the end of the 2006-2007 school year after having been principal for as long as the graduating class of 2007 had been alive. Dr. Filer, previously vice-principal, became the new principal beginning with the 2007-2008 school year. Dr. Filer retired at the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year, and Mr. Brown became the principal. CAMS also has a lot of social activities and clubs to participate in. A few include Robotics, Test Code, Key Club, Society of Women Engineers, Filmmakers Club, Photography Club, Biomed Club, the Tennis team, etc. Notable alumni Chester Pitts - Seattle Seahawks left guard Leila Chirayath Janah - Social Entrepreneur, Founder and CEO of Samasource Myles Williams - Engineer, founder and CEO of Prophets Only Kun Gao - Entrepreneur, Founder and CEO of Crunchyroll Robert Butler III - Film director, producer and podcaster Johari Gardner - Music producer Jeremiah Abraham - Film and Television Producer, Founder & CEO of Tremendous Communications Extracurricular activities Students at CAMS enjoy a variety of extracurricular activities, including sports (volleyball, soccer, and tennis), Dance Team, Key Club, PI (Pacific Islander) Club, Chess Club, Math Club, M.E.Ch.A., Test Code (formerly Computer Science Club), Pinoy Club, Black Student Alliance (BSA), Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA), National Honor Society (NHS), Future Medical Professionals, Associated Student Body (ASB), Rocket Team, MATE Underwater ROV Competition (ROV) Team, National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement), FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Team, VEX Robotics Team, Girls Build LA, Faith & Fellowship, and HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America).
