Twenty #proudcardinal student-athletes, along with four coaches and the athletic director, attended the Big Thumb Conference Leadership and Sportsmanship Summit at Mayville High School yesterday. They engaged in breakout sessions and discussions focused on becoming positive leaders, handling internal and external conflicts, and creating a more welcoming environment at Dryden High School for visiting teams and spectators. A special thank you to guest speaker Rob Miller for sharing his valuable insights with our student-athletes!
