“I got involved with SCCDAT in the summer of 2021, before my sophomore year,” Haines said. “The sponsor messaged me and asked if I would be interested, so I joined that day.”
Haines said that besides meeting new people, one of the greatest perks of being in SCCDAT is being able to lead others.
“Being involved with SSCDAT has brought me lots of leadership opportunities,” Haines said. “I have also met other people in the county and made new friends.”
Outside of softball, cheer and dance, Haines is also a member of a significant number of clubs at Wellington. She is in FFA, is the
Student Council treasurer, NHS secretary and the class vice president. She is also in Pep Club and SADD.
At this time, Haines has no plans to continue her athletic career in college, but she wants to be a veterinarian. She is not sure what college she wants to attend.
