❤️🖤 That’s a wrap on Teacher Appreciation Week ❤️🖤
This week, we had the opportunity to spotlight many of the incredible educators who make Dryden special—but the truth is, it takes all of you. From first-day jitters in our youngest classrooms to the moment our seniors walk across the stage, our teachers are there every step of the way. Thank you for your time, your energy, your patience, and your commitment to our students and community. We are proud to be Cardinals because of you ❤️🖤

Calendar Change--Dryden High School

Friday, May 15, 2026, has changed from a full day of school to a half day of school at Dryden High School ONLY..

Dryden High School will host the MHSAA Track and Field Regional 39 meet at Stremler Field on May 15. The event begins at noon. Because some members of the high school staff volunteer at the meet, many students participate or spectate, and the parking lot will be needed for visitors, Dryden High School only will have a half day of school, dismissing at 10:35 a.m.
