My experience at Dexter Regional High School has been great. I feel that DRHS has done an excellent job preparing me for college while also allowing me to enjoy my high school years. Being involved in so many activities has allowed me to connect with a wide range of people, and I would say that's my favorite part of being at DRHS.
