Carey distinguished herself in academics and athletics while at Ridgefield High School and was an acknowledged leader in both school and community activities. She was on the Honor Roll throughout her high school career and was inducted as a member of the National Honor Society in her junior year. She received the Academic Excellence Award in Honors English as a sophomore and was the recipient of the University of Michigan Book Award in her junior year. Carey was the 2015 recipient of the Colonel Richard E. Romine Scholarship Award from the Ridgefield Marine Corps League, an award presented to those who have demonstrated excellence in academics, sports and leadership.
Carey was a lacrosse team member at Ridgefield High School for four years and a cross country team member since her sophomore year. She was co-captain of both the women’s cross country team and lacrosse team in her senior year. In September 2014, Carey was named Scholar Athlete of the Month by the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference. “She was a very happy, outgoing, and inclusive person,” said Ridgefield women’s cross country head coach John Goetz about Carey. “She made friends with everyone on the team, whether they were her senior classmates or new freshmen. She always seemed to have the right words to make people happy and feel good about themselves. She wouldn’t just say “hi, how’s it going.” She’d stop and spend one or two minutes truly trying to find out how it was going. She really loved and cared about everyone around her.” In June 2015, Carey was awarded the Bryan C. McCarthy Spirit of the Game Award for lacrosse and was named a Scholar Athlete by the Ridgefield High School Athletic Advisory Council. At Colgate University, Carey was a new member of the women's cross country team.
In addition to her high school academic achievements and athletic pursuits, Carey was the holder of a private pilot’s license. She also studied martial arts and was awarded a second degree black belt in Soo Bahk Do. She volunteered at an assisted living facility, served as a tutor and worked in her parish at Saint Mary to organize clothing collections for the poor and homeless - the family of Carey Depuy
