College Decision Day is a national celebration of all high school seniors and transfer students, especially those from low-income, underrepresented, and first-generation college-going backgrounds who have committed to pursuing higher education—whether at a community college, a four-year college or university, or a professional training program, or by joining the military.

The #proudcardinal Class of 2023 will celebrate College Decision Day on May 1. We need your help to send them off with what they need for success! Gifts will be presented to those celebrating College Decision Day on May 1. Will you help? Please consider purchasing from our Amazon Wish List.

Hello to the Dryden Community!

I am incredibly excited and honored to share that your very own Dryden Bands are performing the national anthem for the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park on Saturday, April 8th for Opening Weekend!

Besides being a "home base" for students with a trusted teacher, these courses provide information on the Positivity Project's character strengths.

by Penelope Spencer

Lauren Abromaitis is a senior at Dryden High School. She has been going to Dryden her whole life! She says that her favorite thing about Dryden is ¨how close everyone is and how you get the attention you need whenever you need it¨.

In school, Lola plays volleyball, basketball, and softball. She is also the president of the Student Council and a member of NHS. Outside of school, Lola loves to hang out with her friends and boyfriend, watch the television show FRIENDS, play board games, and sleep (I mean, who doesn't?). She would also like everyone to know that she sleep talks and can recite all FRIENDS episodes. After high school, Lola plans to go to Oakland University. Have a happy graduation, Lola!
