Calendar Change--Dryden High School

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 participate or spectate, and the parking lot will be needed for visitors, Dryden High School only will have a half day of school, dismissing at 10:35 a.m.
