Eagles Football team falls in regular season opener

The DHS Football team fell 27-0 in their first regular season game versus the Beaver Brae Broncos.

Jeremy Euler led the Eagles rushing attack while Andrew Langlais recorded 6 tackles on defense.

Heavy rain and a messy field created challenging playing conditions for both teams.

Next football action is Friday, September 17th as the Eagles take on Murdoch Mckay in their first home game of the season.

Come out and cheer on your Dryden Eagles!

Volunteer Hour Information

In order to graduate with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma, each student must complete a minimum of 40 hours of community involvement activities, also known as “volunteer hours”.

The purpose of the community involvement requirement is to encourage students to develop awareness and understanding of civic responsibility and of the role they can play and the contributions they can make in supporting and strengthening their communities.

Dryden High School has prepared this list of approved organizations that students can earn volunteer hours with. Students need to complete a Student Tracking Form and submit it to the guidance office in order to have their volunteer hours added to their total.

There is never a better time than now to begin working towards your volunteer hour requirement! Contact the DHS Guidance office if you need help finding the volunteer activity that is right for you.
