Hayden Alex Neuhalfen, son of Jerod and Sheryl Neuhalfen, attended Battle Creek Public Schools for the entirety of his education. He is an active member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church.
Hayden participated in track for three seasons, and he played golf for one season. Aside from athletics, Hayden was a member of the band for three years, Trailblazers for two years, and speech for one year.
When asked to name a favorite teacher at BCHS, Hayden named Mr. Junior Aguilar, stating that math - especially calculus - was his favorite subject. Hayden said that he greatly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of his small class, where he and the other boys could have fun and joke around while learning.
Outside of school, Hayden enjoys playing chess, golfing, and reading. He is currently employed at Vic’s Engine Service, where he works in custodial and front desk roles.
Following graduation, Hayden plans to attend a four-year college, though he is still exploring potential career paths.
