Halley Patterson wanted to clear the air. Why does her folks and youngest sister Brooklyn have a different last name than her and sister Taylor? "We all have the same parents, but when my sister and I were born, my parents hadn't married yet and we used my mom's last name. We decided to leave it as is." Halley moved to Corbett when she was in kindergarten from Sandy because her folks wanted to be near her grandmother and liked the schools. Just last year Halley's family was able build a brand new house in Corbett. Halley just loves being so close to the school and the fact the new house has so much more space. Some favorite memories for Halley are playing basketball, volleyball and softball. Her dad, Chris Detherage is the President of the Corbett Boosters. Currently working hard towards a scholarship to play basketball at Grey's Harbour Community College in Aberdeen, Wash., Halley is willing to put in the work. She also is on the Leadership Team at Corbett High and is in the National Honor Society. Halley has been to Italy, New York and Wash. D.C. with the middle schoolers a few years back as part of an optional field trip. She was thrilled to see Derek Jeter play in person. One of her fondest things about growing up in Corbett has been the fact she feels so closely connected with friends and community members. Knowing that she wants to go away for college, Halley tells me that one day she indeed will return!
