The Dryden Red and Black

Seniors, please complete the Google Form in your email to RSVP for College Signing Day.

We want to celebrate your next steps! Graduation caps and gowns will be distributed as well.

College Signing 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.

We need your help to send our #proudcardinal Class of 2022

off to college with what they need for success!

Gifts will be presented to those celebrating College Signing Day on May 2.
