Henry Hammel has been in Corbett with his family since his folks brought him home from the hospital. Henry is the youngest of two boys and has attended Corbett schools since since kindergarten. Now a senior, he is looking to graduate in the spring and then attend college. Where might he go? "No idea" he says with a laugh as he talks about his brother Matt being enrolled at Vassar in New York and yet now in a foreign country, studying abroad for a semester. Many teachers and coaches have had a big impact on Henry over the years and he appreciates the relationships he has been able to build. He is especially thankful for Mr. Bob Dunton who has been both a mentor and friend. Henry has always been busy. With several years of Cub and Boy Scouts, several years in Corbett Children's Theater, playing the bassoon in the band from grade 5-11, and playing soccer since kindergarten, Henry also had time to be in a band called "Sanitarium." Playing with several of his friends, Henry was the lead singer for all three years they were together. Having fun is a priority for Henry and he appreciates the chance to have grown up in Corbett with lots of space to roam and have plenty of animals, including horses. What is on his mind at the moment? Going to the state playoff in soccer this year- "Come watch us play and WIN!" he says with a grin.
