Dear Bolton Academy Community,
It is with great excitement and a sense of privilege that I extend a warm and heartfelt welcome as the Assistant Principal of Rapides Parish’s brand-new pre-K through twelve academic magnet school.
With 16 years of experience in the field of education, my journey has been one of passion, dedication, and a commitment to foster a love for learning. From the joyous halls of elementary school to the captivating world of middle school science at Rapides Academy and the leadership role of Lead Teacher at Bolton High School, my journey has been a tapestry of learning and growth.
I earned my undergraduate degree from LSUA, alternate certification from Louisiana College, and a Masters from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. These moments in my education have shaped how I teach and lead. They taught me that it's crucial to provide a well-rounded education that meets the diverse needs of all our students.
As we embark on this exciting adventure, I am committed to working collaboratively with our talented staff, dedicated parents, and, most importantly, our students. Together, we will cultivate an atmosphere of curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity.
I am truly excited to be a part of Bolton Academy, where dreams come true and education goes above and beyond. Let's build a legacy of excellence together.
Warm Regards,
Hayley Dean, M.Ed.
