Alumni Gather in D.C., Reminisce about Jeans Rebellion
A dozen alumni came out to mingle and meet other potential movers and shakers in late February in Washington D.C., at the Urbana Restaurant and Wine Bar in hip Dupont Circle. Administrators Dan Hudkins, director of instructional technology K-12; Jennifer Gargano, assistant head of school for academic affairs; and Butch Keller, upper school head, joined the group, which enjoyed food and wine while swapping stories and laughs about working at acronym-ed government agencies like the DoD (Department of Defense), DOT (Department of Treasury), NASA, NIH (National Institutes of Health) and NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health). One alumna revealed the real story behind the fabled Jeans Rebellion of 2002, which had a major influence on Harker’s current dress code policy as it relates to jeans, so watch for that story!
