What is the Student Council? Student Council is a group of student representatives who come together to make the school better and more fun for the rest of the student body. They plan dances, pep assemblies, fundraisers, and other events that help make the school and community better.

The teacher in charge of the Student Council is Mr. Cherry; he has been the advisor for 2 ½ years. Mr. Cherry’s hopes for the future of the club are that the Student Council continues to grow and help the community and its fellow students.

The Student Council’s next project is planning the Homecoming dances, parades, and pep assemblies for the next school year. They will also be planning some fundraising events for the end of the year and over the summer. The message the Student Council is sending is that it is open to all high school students, and they encourage students to join and help plan for the future of our school.

On Wednesday, March 23, the Imlay City/ Dryden Varsity Girls Soccer team went to Yale High School for the season opener. The girls played a phenomenal game, putting all of their efforts onto the field, even when it was raining. The Imlay City/ Dryden soccer team won 1-0 against Yale’s girls soccer team. Jessica Peters scored the winning goal, which was assisted by Jenna Peters. The next Imlay City/ Dryden Girls Soccer game is on April 6 at Durand Area High School. Great job on your first win of the season girls, and good luck in your next game!

A sophomore at Dryden Junior/Senior High School, John has been a Dryden student since preschool. His favorite thing about Dryden is the opportunity to attend EdTech. He likes hanging out with his friends, cars, and listening to music. In the future, John sees himself attending college after graduation, and his dream career is in cyber security.

Izzy loves that Dryden is small and easy to just get to classes and not worry about the anxiety of being in a giant crowd. She's a senior and has been at Dryden for about 7 years. Outside of school, she enjoys sleeping, eating, and hanging out outside when it’s warm. She's also a part of the track team. Although she's not sure about her post-graduation plans, she's looking forward to finishing high school.
