Lots of Choices!

Sarah Brandt is a beautiful teenager, both in and out! Because of her drive to keep good grades, she will have many choices for college next fall. Brought home from the hospital to Corbett, she has lived in the same home her entire life, attending Corbett schools from kindergarten through her present senior year in high school. Sarah's father Bill has a Polish background, while her mother Becky has a Native American heritage. This actually will be a benefit to her when she begins applying to different colleges. Her "dream choice" is Stanford, but she is also applying to USC, Rice and the Univ. of Oregon. Sarah describes herself as being an "active" gal who has tried numerous activities, clubs and sports over the years. She has played the flute in the school band for five years, been in Girl Scouts, involved with the Corbett Children's Theatre for seven years and has played sports most of her youth. In high school she was able to go to State in track, and also played on the girl's varsity soccer team. Over the years, her 6th grade math teacher and past superintendent, Mr. Bob Dunton has played an important role as a mentor and one that has strongly encouraged her academically. Growing up in a small community and school has been special for Sarah as she feels the teachers really "know" the students and care about them and their futures. Sarah's folks have been married over 20 years and she has an older brother, Aaron who is currently a student at Linfield College. Having a warm and friendly smile, Sarah says she loves having lots of trees on her family's property. As a youngster she has climbed many of them! Growing up in the country has been ideal, being able to play outside all year round. Looking to a future outside of Corbett is not scary for her as she describes herself as a "people person" who is always up for a new adventure!
