August 3, 2006 was a red-letter day at the Dudley house. It was the day Hailee Dudley was born. The daughter of Crystal Newland and Jeremy Dudley, she joined siblings Cayden Dudley, 23, and Dalton Dudley, 30.
Her grandparents were anxious to meet this newest family member. They include Keith Newland, Judi Newland, Susan Clark, Tom Dudley, and Valerine LaSrenz.
Hailee has been a “lifer” in the Class of 2025. She has played volleyball, club volleyball, and softball.
This honor roll student was also a member of the 2024 Homecoming court.
When not busy at school, Hailee likes to play volleyball and spend time with friends and family.
It is special to her that she can call Shaylee Brothersen, her best friend, any time. It’s been that way since preschool.
The special thing about her class is that most of them have grown up together since preschool. Her advice to the underclassmen is, “make it fun, don’t be boring!”
Hailee’s special people are her mom and dad. She says, “I chose my parents because they have always been by my side and always support me.”
Next year, Hailee will be attending Indian Hills for dental assisting and dental hygiene.
She is looking forward to graduation, but she will always take her high school experience with her. Tiger Nation hopes her years as a 2025 graduate of NLHS were some of the best!
