In my four years at Dresden High School I have always felt like every teacher there cares for me and wants the best out of me no matter what. They want each student prepared for the next chapter of their life and want to make sure they have someone by their side while doing this. The administration could be a little better considering all the incidents we have had while I have been in high school. Overall, I have had the best four years in Dresden High School!!

Honestly, I loved this school. The teachers and staff are SUPER friendly and care for you and your needs. The education possibilities are AMAZING!! Dresden High School has a farm, greenhouse, and a shop for the Agricultural students like myself. All in all, a top tier school.
