🎓 Today, we celebrate more than a graduate — we celebrate years of hard work, growth, friendships, memories, and accomplishments.

Congratulations to Nick Abromaitis and the Dryden High School Class of 2026! Your small-town roots have helped shape big dreams, and we cannot wait to see where life takes you next. No matter where your journey leads, you will always have a home here in Dryden. 💗🖤💗🖤

We are proud of you today and every day ahead.
