David Johnson, a local businessman, and I, along with a group of other local residents, are wanting to create a private high school in Dryden, NY. We are looking for 1.) those interested in helping in this endeavor, 2.) those willing to provide financial support, and 3.) parents looking for an alternative to the local public schools for their children.
