May 22 2026

Dear Dexter High School students and families,

As Memorial Day approaches, we pause to honor and remember the service members who gave their lives in service to our country. We also hope this long weekend provides our students and families an opportunity to rest, recharge, and enjoy time together as we head into the final weeks of the school year. Thank you for your continued support of our school community!

Go Dreads!
Abby / Ms. Holland
