Welcome to Teacher Appreciation Week: Every Cardinal. Every Classroom.
Every Cardinal’s story starts somewhere—and grows because of the people along the way ❤️🖤 This week, we’re celebrating the incredible educators across our entire district. From our youngest learners to our graduating seniors, it takes all of us to build a #proudcardinal.
Today we recognize Mary Finnigan, our Principal, Superintendent, and College Instructor. Thank you for your leadership, vision, and commitment to every student and staff member at Dryden.

#proudcardinal seniors and families, join us for the Class of 2026 Senior Awards on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, in the Dryden High School Gymnasium at 6:30 p.m. Seniors, wear your caps and gowns.

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.

April is Math Awareness Month! Look for a post that looks like this every school day in April. There is no right or wrong answer. The value comes in noticing your thinking and then explaining it. There are some sentence starters to help the conversation flow. #proudcardinal
