Living in Corbett since birth, Jacy Clare has many happy memories of growing up in Corbett. Graduating in 2010 from Corbett High, Jacy was involved over the years with baseball, Boy Scouts, Corbett Children's Theatre, Robotics Club, Academic Decathlon and band. Having many great experiences, Jacy had the opportunity to travel and compete with the Robotics Club, Academic Decathlon Team and the Corbett Band. Earning many scholarships, including the Superintendent's Scholarship, Jacy chose to attend the University of Pennsylvania for his freshman year of college. Founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1740, it is an Ivy League school located in Philadelphia. Bringing his bicycle to school, he thought he would have a lot more time to ride than he did. Having ridden in several races in Oregon over the years, he imagined riding around campus as well. Instead, other opportunities called out to him. Jacy auditioned and earned a spot in the school's Mask and Wig Club. This is the oldest all male collegiate comedy troupe in America. There are four sections to the club, and Jacy is in the band, playing his alto saxophone, as he did for Mr. Killgore's band at Corbett! Playing nearly 30 shows a year, it is a large commitment, but Jacy says it has been a great experience that he plans on sticking with throughout his years at the school. Majoring in Computer Engineering, Jacy says going back to Corbett is a wonderful place to relax. In fact, he plans on watching the July 4th fireworks from atop his roof this year!
