U.S. News & World Report Recognizes Dryden Among the 2025 Best Middle Schools
Dryden High School has been ranked No. 156 in Michigan among the 2025 Best Middle School
rankings by U.S. News & World Report. The rankings include more than 79,000 public elementary and middle schools across the country. Schools are ranked at the state and district level, with Best Charter Schools ranked as a stand-alone category.
Dryden High School serves grades 7-12 and has a student population of 239. “We are incredibly honored and humbled to have been recognized as one of the best schools in the state,” reflected Dryden High School Principal and Dryden Community Schools Superintendent Mary Finnigan. “This achievement is a testament to the dedication, hard work, and passion that our students, teachers, and staff bring to our school community every day.”
Finnigan continued, “Our teachers are the heart of our success. Their commitment to excellence, innovation, and personalized support helps foster a learning environment where every student can thrive. Our staff, both in and outside the classroom, work tirelessly to ensure that our students not only succeed academically but also grow as confident, compassionate individuals ready to contribute to the world around them.”
“Most of all, we celebrate our students,” she added. “Their enthusiasm, resilience, and drive to do their best inspire all of us to continually improve and strive for greatness. It is their determination and curiosity that make this recognition possible.”
The methodology focuses on state assessments of students who were proficient or above proficient in mathematics and reading/language arts while accounting for student backgrounds, achievement in core subjects, and how well schools are educating their students. Student-teacher ratios are applied to break ties in the overall score.
The 2025 Best Elementary and Best Middle Schools rankings are based on publicly available data from the U.S. Department of Education. For district-level rankings, at least two of the top-performing schools must rank in the top 75% of the overall elementary or middle school rankings to qualify for district-level recognition.
“Schools play a vital role in our communities. Parents want to ensure that the schools their child attends provide a high-quality learning environment,” LaMont Jones, managing editor for education at U.S. News. “The 2025 Best Elementary and Middle Schools rankings not only offer accessible data but also provide a valuable insight into how well elementary and middle schools are supporting and preparing students for high school.”

Dryden awarded over $60,000 to support Early Literacy Achievement
The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) awarded Dryden Elementary School a grant of $64,705 to be used to improve early literacy achievement. Section 35j of the FY 2024 state School Aid Act provided $140 million to intermediate and local school districts to strengthen literacy instructional practices by investing in quality, research-based best practices and professional learning. Karen Roys, Literacy Coach, and Kristal White, Early Literacy Coach and Consultant, applied for and received the grant on behalf of Dryden Community Schools.
Dryden Community Schools has a strong commitment to improve literacy achievement. In 2023-2024, the Bookworms Reading and Writing K-5 curriculum was adopted. This was in response to better aligning instruction to research, The Essential Instructional Practices in Early Literacy and The Science of Reading. A few barriers were found in the journey to move the building forward upon adopting a new curriculum: gaps in teacher knowledge, insufficient materials to support effective instruction, subpar classroom libraries, and a lack of resources to support at-risk students. The 35j grant will offset Dryden Elementary’s existing efforts to improve achievement and help further
develop a comprehensive literacy system. The plan for the grant monies centers around providing intentional professional learning, along with purchasing the necessary literacy materials to ensure
effective practices get implemented in every classroom, every day. "We are grateful to have additional funds to put books in students' hands and offer more sustainable professional development for our teachers,” stated Literacy Coach Karen Roys.
Dryden Elementary’s professional learning plan continues with existing efforts to shore up foundational skills (phonemic awareness and decoding), build classroom libraries, and implement the Bookworm Reading and Writing K-5 curriculum with fidelity. Learning opportunities will be offered in a tiered approach and include completion of classroom library modules, one-on-one and grade-level support from literacy coaches, data analysis and cohort meetings, stipends for after-school enrichment, and LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) training, and essential instructional practices in literacy modules.
In addition to promoting research supported instructional practices, continuing to build diverse and engaging classroom libraries in prek-5th grade at Dryden Elementary is a priority. Exemplary classroom libraries give students access to an abundance of diverse and engaging literacy materials in order to support their unique needs, identities, and interests.
“The 35j grant presents a vital opportunity to address early literacy barriers,” stated Dryden Community Schools Superintendent Mary Finnigan. “It not only supports our existing efforts but also enhances our comprehensive literacy system. Our plan emphasizes intentional professional learning and the procurement of necessary literacy materials, ensuring that effective practices are implemented daily in every classroom,” Finnigan continued.
To be eligible for 35j funds, state law stipulates that awardees must do all the following:
• Provide professional learning for all pre-K to grade 5 teachers, administrators, and instructional coaches in literacy instruction best practices.
• Complement existing efforts to improve literacy instruction.
• Develop and implement a comprehensive literacy system.
• Use a valid screening tool, as determined by MDE, to identify gaps in current literacy practices and complete a needs assessment.
• Submit a plan to MDE targeting identified focus areas to address gaps in literacy practices.
• Ensure 100% of current pre-K to grade 5 teachers complete selected training.
• Report to MDE and post on the district’s website which pre-K to 5 literacy curriculum and benchmark assessment the district has used.

Dear #proudcardinal Families and Students,
As we near the end of the first semester, I want to take a moment to reflect on a quality that is essential to our success, both in and out of the classroom: grit. Grit is the perseverance and passion we show when faced with challenges, and it’s one of the most important traits that can help us not only achieve our goals but also grow as individuals.
This semester, I’ve seen firsthand how our students are demonstrating extraordinary grit. Whether it’s pushing through a difficult assignment, navigating personal obstacles, or working towards academic and extracurricular goals, our students have shown a remarkable ability to keep going, even when the path isn’t easy.
As we continue to embrace this theme of grit, I encourage all of us—students, staff, and families—to take a moment to reflect on how we’ve shown perseverance in our own lives. Let’s celebrate the small victories and continue to support each other as we strive to reach new heights.
Together, let’s keep moving forward with passion, determination, and an unwavering belief in our ability to overcome challenges. Grit is what will carry us through, no matter what lies ahead.
Thank you for all you do to support our Dryden community.
Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday,
Mary Finnigan

Dryden Seniors Earn CPR/AED Certification
Dryden High School’s Class of 2025 recently learned lifesaving skills and fulfilled a graduation requirement by obtaining lifesaving skills. "I really enjoyed getting the experience to learn CPR on an adult, child, and infant," stated senior Keira Miller. “Getting this certification will hopefully help me save someone’s life someday,” she added.
This year’s seniors completed the State of Michigan graduation requirement of instruction in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). The requirement to offer training began with the 2017-2018 school year. Beyond training, however, Dryden High School seniors were certified in Heartsaver CPR AED, a skillset they can now renew every two years.
According to http://cpr.heart.org, Heartsaver® CPR AED is a video-based, instructor-led course that teaches adult and child CPR and AED use, infant CPR, and how to relieve choking in adults, children, and infants. This course teaches skills with the AHA’s research-proven practice-while-watching technique, which allows instructors to observe the students, provide feedback, and guide the students’ learning of skills.
Class of 2025 member Jalynn Delmotte appreciated the many facets of the training. “The training was beneficial and made me understand the reality of how things can go sideways and how important it is to be prepared,” Delmotte reflected.
Students were taught by AHA Certified Instructor Denise Brewer and assistant Rachelle Lageski. “I learned a lot of new stuff about CPR,” said senior Isabella Weier, who added, “I also learned how to save an adult and a baby.”
“I’m glad we had the opportunity to receive the training,” summarized senior Jade Insley. “And hopefully if we’re in a situation where somebody needs CPR, we will be able to help them.”
Wright this year's Good Citizen award recipient
Dryden High School is proud to announce that Lillian Wright is this year's DAR Good Citizen. Lillian was selected by teachers based on the DAR Good Citizen qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. She will have the opportunity to compete for a scholarship at the state and national levels.
"Receiving the DAR Good Citizen award was a true honor and surprise to me, not only for being recognized by it but also for being a leader to everyone I surrounded myself with. Being someone that individuals look up to warms my heart! This is a reflection on my family and the impact they have had on me. I am excited to be able to write an essay that allows me the chance to receive a scholarship. I would use the scholarship money to help me pursue a career in Physical Therapy," reflected Wright as she accepted her award.
This recognition was presented by Dryden High School Counselor Kimberly Fleming, who said “We are incredibly proud and honored to have Lillian Wright represent Dryden High School as this year's Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizen. Lillian is a dedicated student who cares about her community and others. She expresses this through her volunteer work and the leadership roles she assumes.”
The award is presented under the auspices of the John Crawford Chapter, NSDAR in Almont, Michigan.
1st Place Awarded to Charity MacNeil
Dryden High School ninth grader Charity MacNeil earned first place in the grades 7-9 category of the Lapeer Conservation District Poster Contest. This notable achievement propelled her to the state level of competition. Her poster, creatively showcasing environmental conservation themes,
represented the Lapeer District at the Michigan State Poster Contest. As a first-place winner, Charity will receive a plaque in recognition of her accomplishment.
Charity’s poster went on to win 1st place in the state of Michigan, marking another milestone in her artistic journey. As Michigan’s state winner, Charity will now represent the state in the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) National Poster Contest. The national winners will be announced in February 2025 during the NACD Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah.
"I am incredibly proud of Charity for her dedication and hard work," said Bobbi Jo Torok, K-12 Art Teacher at Dryden Community Schools. "She worked tirelessly on her poster, combining her natural artistic talent with her passion for conservation. Her creativity and attention to detail were key to achieving this level of success. It's been a privilege to watch her grow as an artist, and I am so proud of everything she has accomplished."
In addition to Charity’s outstanding success, two other Dryden High School freshmen, Juliet Hearold and Jaccob Miller, earned Honorable Mention for their entries in the contest. Their recognition highlights the artistic talent fostered within the Dryden Community Schools and the importance of environmental education.
Mary Finnigan, Dryden High School Principal and Superintendent of Dryden Community Schools, also congratulated Charity on her remarkable achievement. “Charity’s hard work and dedication to her craft are truly inspiring. She has shown exceptional talent and perseverance in representing both Dryden High School and our community. We are excited to see her move forward in the state and national competitions, and we wish her the best of luck as she competes at the NACD National Poster Contest. We’re all rooting for you, Charity!”
The Lapeer Conservation District Poster Contest aims to encourage students to explore environmental conservation through creative expression. The contest provides students with an opportunity to raise awareness about conservation issues while showcasing their artistic skills.
This year’s theme, focused on environmental stewardship, resonated with participants across the region.
Charity’s next steps will include preparing for the national competition, where she will join state winners from across the U.S. in the final round of the NACD contest. The Dryden community is incredibly proud of Charity’s achievements thus far and looks forward to her continued success.

News from the Athletic Director
Fall 2024 sports highlights:
Cross Country: The 2024 cross country season was a banner year for the team, marked by consistent success, team milestones, and individual records. Competing in nine meets, both the boys’ and girls’ teams captured the Big Thumb Conference Red/Blue Division Championships, showcasing their depth and determination. The boys’ team added to their accolades with a victory at the Greater Flint Small School Championship, a dominant win at Region 35-4, and a 12th-place finish at the MHSAA Division 4 State Championships, never placing lower than fifth in regular-season meets. The girls showed resilience and improvement, earning third at the Greater Flint Championship and narrowly missing a state berth with a fourth-place finish at Regionals. Individually, Cara Prusakiewicz earned All-State honors with a 23rd-place finish at states and a school-record 19:50.6, joined by Claire Wright at the state meet. On the boys’ side, Logan Romain (6th), Levi Fitchett (13th), and Noah Hall (15th) earned All-Region honors, highlighting the team’s strength. Middle school athletes also impressed, with Ella Gustner setting a school record of 13:03.2 and Josiah Matson leading the boys with a time of 12:30.0. The season celebrated the athletes’ dedication, teamwork, and collective effort that made these achievements possible.
6th Grade Volleyball: The 6th-grade volleyball team demonstrated unwavering love and dedication for the game throughout the season. Their improvement was evident in every game and practice, driven by consistently positive attitudes and boundless energy that resonated throughout the gym. Numerous coaches and parents complimented the team on their remarkable growth and how enjoyable they were to watch. Several players mastered the skill of overhand serving consistently over the net, with many others making great progress toward that goal. The team’s development and determination were inspiring, and their journey promises a bright future in the sport.
7th/8th Grade Volleyball: The 7th and 8th-grade volleyball teams showcased tremendous growth and resilience throughout their season. They approached each practice with a readiness to work hard, learn, and bond as a team. Their leadership and support created a welcoming environment for younger players, fostering a strong sense of unity on and off the court. As the season progressed, the team demonstrated incredible growth, with every player stepping up to contribute to their collective success. Their commitment and passion for volleyball were evident, laying a solid foundation for even greater accomplishments in the future.
JV Volleyball: The Junior Varsity volleyball season was full of growth, challenges, and fun for both the players and their coach. Even with low numbers at the start, the team brought in new players, including some who had never played before, and quickly came together. Having a smaller group turned out to be a great opportunity, giving the girls lots of one-on-one coaching and plenty of playtime to build their skills and confidence. By the end of the season, the improvement in the newer players was amazing, and the team showed tons of potential for the future. They may not have had a winning record, but their progress and determination make them a team to watch in the coming years. The program also held a successful “Serve-A-Thon” fundraiser, bringing in funds for tournaments and equipment. This season was a blast to coach, and it’s exciting to think about what’s next for these girls and the program.
Varsity Volleyball: This season brought an exciting new addition to the varsity team with Maddie Gammon, the sole freshman, making a significant impact from the start. Seniors Izzy Weier and Keira Miller were named team captains alongside Maddie, as chosen by their teammates. Izzy, the team’s setter and floor captain, led in assists with 414, while Keira, the libero, led in digs with 323. Maddie topped the team in kills with 106. The team finished the season with a 9-9 record and secured 4th place in the BTL, ahead of Deckerville and Mayville. Highlights included defeating district champions Deckerville at home and taking strong teams like North Huron, Peck, and Kingston to five sets. Notably, the team was the only one to push Peck, this year’s BTL Champs, to five sets in both home and away matches, ultimately defeating them 3-2 in the final home game of the season. Individual honors included Maddie Gammon earning 1st Team recognition and Keira Miller and Izzy Weier receiving Honorable Mentions at the All-League meeting.
Varsity Cheerleading: It was an exciting year for the Football Sideline Cheerleading team, marked by significant growth and memorable highlights. The team nearly doubled in size from last year and hosted its second annual Mini Cheer Clinic at the elementary school in September, welcoming 35 young participants. The mini cheerleaders joined the varsity team to cheer during the first half of the Homecoming football game on October 4th, filling the stands with enthusiastic parents and creating a fun, energetic atmosphere. The varsity team achieved a major goal this season by incorporating stunts into their performances at the last four football games, executing multiple stunts with cradles. Bases Jade Insley, MyaBella Blatt, Rheilyn Holburt, and Hailee Soule, backspots Ariela Perales and Rheilyn Holburt, and fliers Karley Phillips and Hailee Soule showcased their skills, with eighth graders Elayna Handley and Willow Dubois trying flying for the first time. Special recognition goes to this year’s captains: Hailee Soule, who served as Assistant Captain and will lead the team next year, and Lead Captain Jade Insley, whose contributions and leadership will be greatly missed as she graduates. The team looks forward to building on their success and adding more advanced skills next year.
Varsity Football:
The 2024 season proved to be a success on many levels. The team doubled its win total from the previous year, finishing with a 4-5 record. Additionally, the offense scored 130 more points than last season, while the defense allowed over 40 fewer points.
Five athletes earned postseason honors: Santiago Perales, Gianni Coscione, Sonny Coscione, David Insley, and Owen Gall all received All-Conference recognition. Santiago Perales also earned All-Region honors, being voted as one of the three best wide receivers in the region.
As a second-year program, the team was highly competitive in many games. The growth from the previous season was remarkable, and the program is clearly trending in a positive direction for the future. The resilience and passion demonstrated by the players were commendable, and the coaching staff looks forward to building on this progress in 2025.
