Today, Dryden 8th grade students attended MiCareerQuest East at the Dort Financial Event Center in Flint — an exciting, hands-on career exploration event hosted by GST Michigan Works!. Students had the opportunity to interact with industry professionals, test out real-world simulations, and discover the wide range of career paths available in high-demand fields across our region.

We’re proud of our #proudcardinal students for engaging with enthusiasm and curiosity as they begin to envision their futures! 🌟
