This Friday, March 19th, there will be a virtual ceremony for court members and to crown this year's Snowcoming King and Queen. The ceremony will go live on the Dryden Facebook page at 1:30 pm. Be sure to tune in!

Students, if you are interested in boosting school spirit and morale and making the most of your high school experience, then consider joining student council!

For the remainder of the school year, the Dryden High School Student Council will be holding meetings virtually and through Google Classroom, and it is open to any students grades 9th-12th interested in joining. While COVID-19 restrictions prevent us from holding many events, the student council is still working to plan a Snowcoming spirit week and court ceremony, as well as create sports locker signs and decorate the halls.

If you are interested in joining the high school student council, please contact Student Council Advisor Mr. Cherry (mcherry@dryden.k12.mi.us) or senior president Miya Wolff (miya.wolff@dryden.k12.mi.us).

Together we can still do the most to make the most of the 2020-2021 school year!

Brenden is a 7th grader who has been at Dryden for 8 years. Brenden is a basketball player at Dryden as well as a motocross rider. He even plays the bass guitar. Once Brenden gets into high school, he is excited to learn more. His favorite thing about Dryden is it is small so you get to know everyone. Brenden’s dream career is to be in a band, but as of now, he co-owns a band called the California Repierzs. Brenden says the hardest thing about COVID is having to wear masks while playing sports.
