🎉 It’s Homecoming Spirit Week at Dryden High School! 🎉

We’re ready for a fun week of Cardinal Pride as we celebrate Homecoming! ❤️🖤 Students and staff are encouraged to join in each day’s theme:

📚 Monday – Student-Teacher Swap
Teachers dress like students, and students dress like teachers!

👯 Tuesday – Twin Day
Grab a friend—or a group—and dress alike!

🤍 Wednesday – White Lie Day
Wear a shirt with a funny, school-appropriate “white lie.”

🏛️ Thursday – Toga Day
Togas are encouraged, but please remember that appropriate clothing must be worn underneath.

❤️🖤 Friday – Red & Black School Spirit Day
Wear your Cardinal gear and show your Dryden pride!

Let’s make it a great week and fill the halls with school spirit!

Go Cardinals! ❤️🖤

📅 First Few Weeks = Routine Weeks 📅
Try to avoid “just one extra day” of vacation once school begins. The first few week sets habits that last all year.

#DrydenHighSchool #Yearbook #ProudCardinal

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the bravery of the first responders, service members, and ordinary citizens who demonstrated extraordinary courage.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember the victims, their families, and all those whose lives were forever changed.

May we never forget.

🏀 Dryden Cardinals Elementary Girls Basketball 🏀

Possible divisions will include:
