RISING TO MEET EVERY CHALLENGE Principal Cara Hayden Helps Students And Faculty Thrive At Wellington High School STORY BY DEBORAH WELKY | PHOTOS BY DENISE FLEISCHMAN
Back when Wellington was a fledgling community, there was no local high school. Teenagers were bused far away to schools on the coast. That all changed in 1988 with the long-awaited opening of Wellington High School on Greenview Shores Blvd. For nearly 35 years now, Wellington High School has been educating and
graduating generations of Wolverines at a school known for its strong academics and unique special programs, burnishing the Village of Wellington’s reputation for great local schools. Since 2018, Wellington High School has been led by Principal Cara Hayden, who took over for longtime Principal Mario Crocetti when he retired.
Hayden is someone who rises to meet every challenge, and she has been doing so since back in her own high school days, which were split between two different states — the first half in northern California, and the second half in Plantation, Florida. The one constant was her involvement in sports. wellington the magazine | may 2022
