The Dryden Red and Black

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 are participating in or attending the event, and the parking lot will be needed for visitors, only Dryden High School will have a half day, dismissing at 10:35 a.m.

We’re Hiring!

Why are calendars so popular?

They have a lot of dates!

Attention #proudcardinal Class of 2026 Parents:
If you're looking for a great way to honor your 2026 graduate, consider purchasing a Recognition Ad in this year's yearbook. A 1/4 page ad costs $80. There are several formats from which to choose. Here are some examples from last year's yearbook. A limited number of ads are available and are sold on a "first come - first served" basis. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Mrs. Palmerini at bpalmerini@drydenschools.org.

Our seniors are going to college! Please help Dryden High School's Class of 2026 celebrate.

On May 1, our College Decision Day Celebration allows students to declare their intentions

and proudly state their college, university, trade school, training program, or military choice.

Items from this list will be given away to seniors at College Decision Day

to send them off with what they'll need in the fall!

Last week's riddle:

It can’t be seen, can’t be felt, can’t be heard, and can’t be smelled. It lies behind stars and under hills, and empty holes it fills. What is it? Darkness

Congratulations, Madelyn Yatros! You were the first to submit the correct answer.

This week's riddle:

If you’ve got me, you want to share me; if you share me, you haven’t kept me. What am I?
