Caroline Harrington, who played basketball and lacrosse while at Wellesley High School and is now attending Hamilton College, has penned an essay for a college website called Change-Magazine headlined: “Defending A Bully: Why My Coach Was Fired Unfairly & Why We Need to Be Careful with the Word ‘Bully'”
The piece refers to 18-year Wellesley High School basketball coach Kristin Cieri, whose contract wasn’t renewed this year. The school has been quiet about the personnel decision, which has had both supporters and critics. A job posting went live in August and the post is still listed as vacant on the Wellesley Public School site.
