Caroline Doherty had a choice to make.
Only in eighth grade, the Hingham, Mass., native and her parents toured prep schools and weighed whether she should attend Hingham High.
“Every school I toured, I liked, but I just couldn’t get myself to leave,” Doherty said. “I kept saying, ‘I want to do a year at Hingham and see how it goes, and maybe next year I’ll go to a private school.’”
Those conversations continued to come up as Doherty filled box scores as a freshman and sophomore. She toured schools including Williston Northampton and Tabor Academy and heard from several more.
Every time, she decided to stay at Hingham.
