The upper school Biology Club, Key Club, Global Empowerment and Outreach Club (GEO ) and Harker Environmental and Animal Rights Team (HEART) have:
• placed stickers on towel dispensers in bathrooms at all three campuses asking users to use sparingly;
• grown an organic garden on campus which has already been served up for lunch by the upper school kitchen staff;
• invited a speaker from Alliance for Climate Education, which specializes in engaging high school students to become active in stopping climate change, to address the campus;
• checked tire pressures on campus and corrected them to suggested PSIs, offsetting an estimated 3,232.83 kg of carbon entering the atmosphere – equivalent to having planted 147 trees. This action earned HEART a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition on May 18, 2009, as winners of Rep. Mike Honda’s Go Green Contest. The same group won the award for technological innovation for their presentation at Santa Clara University’s Sustainability Decathlon on May 9, 2009.
• named charity: water GEO’s partner organization for the year, inviting speakers to address the campus on the need for clean drinking water throughout the world.
The middle school is decreasing its carbon footprint by: • recycling used cell phones to send to troops abroad;
• printing assignments only when necessary and opting for online copies;
• giving each student a water bottle and phasing out paper cups on campus;
• using grant money from the National Science Foundation. Pairs of students are choosing, researching and growing one edible annual in a 4×4 organic plot and harvesting the resulting plants for a San Jose soup kitchen. Additional compost comes from Harker lunch waste;
• collecting all unclaimed papers from faculty printers for one month, drawing attention to the amount of paper used and immediately recycled.
The lower school: • planted 200 daffodil bulbs to support Keep San Jose Beautiful Day;
• installed smart meters, with the initiative of two upper school students.

Sustainable site development? Check. Water savings? Check. Energy efficiency and materials selection? Check and check. How about indoor environmental quality? Also check. With attention paid to these criteria established by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) guidelines, plus an extra push by Harker students, Nichols Hall earned its gold LEED certification in July 2009.
Originally designed for silver certification, the building was put over the top by the initiative of students in Jeff Sutton’s AP Environmental Science classes. Eight groups of students designed displays for each of the eight LEED categories, and the two additional LEED points for displays and the education of visitors put the building in the gold category.
Not only is Harker the first school in Santa Clara County to earn gold LEED certification, but the building was named a runner-up at the 2009 Structures Awards held by the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal, making it one of only two finalists in the Green Project of the Year – Private category.
“[Sustainability on campus] instills a sense of stewardship in the students who are going to inherit this planet,” said Mike Bassoni, facility manager, when asked about Harker’s green commitment. “We’re hoping to instill a sense of preservation in our students, so we practice what we preach and teach these kids firsthand what it means to be sustainable, and hopefully that will carry … throughout their lives ….”
Nichols Hall is only the latest in a long history of greening efforts at Harker. In the late 1980s, Howard and Diana Nichols (former president and head of school, respectively) had an electric car built, which Diana Nichols’ environmental science classes studied and rode in. “We were told that we wouldn’t get enough charge from the sun to use it for mileage….They were wrong. We drove it to school every day for about three or four years,” said Nichols.
She said they got about 12 miles a day on sunshine, the car went 65- 70 mph, was silent and required no maintenance except battery water. Nichols, who directed Harker’s efforts at the City of San Jose’s Earth Day Celebration in the early 1990s, displayed the car at several functions and was eager to disseminate the idea of solar energy for cars.
Diana Nichols’ green efforts also led to the initiation of the Our Trees Project, the goal of which “was to have students from different parts of the world work on the same problems,” said Nichols. Nichols wrote the program with then-technology director Sharon Meyers and brought in five public schools and the Tamagawa Gakuen school in Japan, Harker’s sister school to this day.
In time the project involved just Harker and Tamagawa until 2002, when the Neerja Modi School in Jaipur, India, joined in. “We wanted to model a new kind of education using the Internet to connect people in different locations and socioeconomic brackets …. We wanted to … increase our students’ understanding of environmental problems and empower them to face those problems,” Nichols said of the initiative. Today the Our Trees Project is going strong, taught as part of the Gr. 6 environmental science and computer science curricula.
Bassoni was well aware of Harker’s green history when Nichols Hall was begun. “Harker has had a strong support of environmental awareness and green thinking, so from day one … it was always our intent to design a building that supported our philosophy and had the potential to be LEED-certified,” he said.
Current students have joined the movement as well, and the school has accomplished phenomenal feats with its young activists leading the way. Inspired by a visit from photographer/environmentalist Rick Smolan, middle school students formed Blue Planet Group to raise money for clean drinking water awareness.
Population Studies and computer science classes have woven the cause into their curricula. The students’ efforts reached the ears of the nonprofit organization charity: water, whose founder, Scott Harrison, came to Harker to thank the students personally. In November of this year the upper school raised $10,000 for charity: water to build two wells in African villages with no clean water source.
Olivia Zhu, Gr. 11, was one of four students selected by UNICEF USA to participate in the first-ever Children’s Climate Forum, held together with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen, Denmark, in early December. Zhu’s application emphasized incentivizing investment in sustainable energies such as solar, wind and geothermal power, and modernizing electricity grids worldwide. “It’s important to get as much information about climate change policy out there as possible, as it has a major impact now and will have an even bigger one on future generations,” said Zhu.
Priya Bhikha, Gr. 12, and a team of upper school students are preparing a segment for Harker’s 2010 fashion show, with clothes made out of recycled materials. Bhikha has put out a call to all three campuses to help supply her with plastic bags, soda can tabs, paper clips, coffee filters, CDs, drinking straws and more to make her recycled fashions.
Shreya Indukuri and Daniela Lapidous, both Gr.10, took it upon themselves to apply for a grant to improve Harker’s energy efficiency. The girls, with the help of Valence Energy, successfully earned a $5,500 environmental grant, allowing Valance to install smart meters, devices for monitoring energy use, at the lower school campus. They also hope to apply some of the grant money towards an organic garden and window-insulating film at the upper school, and plans are underway to install smart meters at that campus, as well.
This fall the pair attended the Governors’ Global Climate Summit in Los Angeles as two of 25 climate youth leaders; they presented their findings to the assembly and enjoyed an audience with Gov. Schwarzenegger. UNICEF picked up on the girls’ story from there, and sent a camera crew from New York in October to interview them for a documentary on youth activism.
“If we don’t do anything about [global warming] now, we’ll really regret it in the future and history will label us as the generation who sat back and watched the world go up in flames. People will either be part of the problem or part of the solution, and it will take an extremely grueling period of effort by a lot of people to come up with even a fraction of a solution, but every contribution counts. We know the work is hard, and it does seem rather intimidating, but we’re just taking it one baby step at a time,” said Lapidous.
A gold, green building? Students ready to effect change? A strong history of environmental awareness that will continue long into the future? Check.

The 2010 Harker Research Symposium, themed Technology for Life, on April 10 is right around the corner and the morning keynote speaker will be William McClure; the afternoon keynote speaker is Christopher J. Gilbert, Ph.D. Three Harker alumni will also present – Jennifer Ong ’07, Richard Kwant ’07 and Brian Ma ’08.
McClure, a recognized expert in cosmetic surgery, has led and served on more than 50 overseas volunteer missions doing surgery on children with facial birth defects and burn deformities, as well as teaching modern surgical techniques to surgeons in the developing world.
McClure has served as chief of surgery at Queen of the Valley Hospital in Napa, and as chief of surgical services for the volunteer organization Interplast. Over the last 25 years McClure has participated in surgical missions to 14 developing countries. McClure noted that each trip has had its own rewarding and unique features and volunteers feel deeply rewarded by their participation.
Expanding medical practice beyond our borders to help people in dire need not only helps those who otherwise would never find treatment, but it enriches the lives of the volunteers, McClure said. Volunteer service of every sort is a responsibility of all professionals. A career in the healing arts is one way to give back.
McClure has been oft recognized for his contributions. In 1994 he was given a Distinguished Service Award for his outstanding contribution to Napa Valley. In 2001 he and his associates were recognized as Health Professionals of the Year by the Napa Chamber of Commerce and the Napa Valley Medical Society. In October of 2005 McClure met the Dalai Lama and was recognized as “An Unsung Hero of Compassion” at a special ceremony in San Francisco.
Gilbert has held responsible positions in operations, mergers and acquisitions, global management consulting and as a research scientist. He is currently vice president of science and technology at Keystone Dental, Inc., leading new technology and business-building initiatives. Gilbert holds a Ph.D. in materials science from the University of California, Berkeley, and a B.S. in materials science from Carnegie Mellon University.
He worked as a research scientist in the materials sciences division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory where he focused on novel materials used in a variety of medical devices. Gilbert then joined McKinsey & Company, a global management consulting firm, where he spent six years serving a variety of medical device, diagnostics and biopharmaceutical clients on a range of major acquisitions and commercial strategy issues.
He joined Cytyc Corp. in 2007 as a principal in corporate development, responsible for mergers and acquisitions, and led post-merger integration efforts for several major medical device and diagnostic deals. Cytyc was acquired by Hologic, Inc. where Gilbert was responsible for West Coast operations of the surgical instruments business and led the European and U.S. approval and commercial launch of the Adiana permanent contraceptive device.

The seventh annual Harker Fashion Show in February was another glamorous spectacle that put on fantastic display the many parts of the greater whole that is Harker. Titled “Outside the Box: Chic and Unique,” this year’s sold-out event was a celebration of Harker’s uniqueness as a school, creatively highlighting the various academic programs and activities in which its students are involved.
“I feel complete,” said fashion show co-chair Christine Davis, whose son, Cole, graduates this year. This year’s fashion show, witnessed by nearly 1,300 people, was her last as a co-chair. “It’s bittersweet, but it’s mostly sweet,” she later added.
Davis partnered with co-chair Marcia Riedel (Randall, Gr. 9; Hunter, Gr. 6) and a team of liaisons led by Sue Prutton, director of upper school volunteer programs, to put together the massive event. Davis and Riedel founded the fashion show more than seven years ago, when they first came up with the idea during a game of tennis. Since then, it has evolved into one of the school’s largest and most elaborate fundraisers.
The impressive design and execution of the show was largely the work of K-Gr. 12 performing arts director Laura Lang-Ree, who directed nearly every detail of the show as it happened, including video screen slides, skits, lighting and musical cues. Meanwhile, producer Beverly Zeiss and her team directed fashion choices, model choreography and backstage management.
“The fashion show has always been a tremendous fundraising event for the school, but in addition to that it gives us an opportunity to show the world what we can do,” Prutton said. “Our emphasis on telling the Harker story in the past three fashion shows has proven to be incredibly popular.”
Funds raised by the event are put toward scholarships for qualified students needing financial aid and to the Capital Campaign, which provides students with the ideal facilities to maximize their Harker experience. The final total of funds raised by the fashion show will be announced on Harker News Online in late March.
Each portion of the runway show was themed after a different department or program, including performing arts, science, athletics and community service. A total of 92 students, parents, faculty and staff strutted down the runway dressed in ensembles from fashion sponsors Macy’s and Eli Thomas. A special segment of the show featured Earth-friendly fashions by Priya Bhikha, Gr. 12, who assembled short and long gowns using recyclable materials such as duct tape, candy wrappers and water bottle labels.
[quote]Some amusing surprises were in store as well, such as the opening routine by a professional circus performer who handled a large metal cube and twirled his way effortlessly through a series of complex and visually striking maneuvers. Later, the robotics team wheeled out one of their creations onto the runway during a highly entertaining sequence. Not to be outdone, the Harker forensics team put on mock debate to decide whether Harker was more “chic” or “unique.”
The show also had exciting performances by the Varsity Dance Troupe, directed by Laura Rae, Dance Fusion, a Gr. 4-6 group directed by Gail Palmer, and the upper school’s Downbeat, co-directed by Catherine Snider and Lang-Ree. Meanwhile, the Harker Jazz Band and Chamber Ensemble, directed by Chris Florio, treated the attendees to some pre-show entertainment, bringing the total number of performers to 85.
The fashion show took place in two phases, a luncheon during the middle of the day and a dinner event in the evening. The evening portion of the show featured dancing and the ever-popular live auction, which sold everything from a helicopter ride above Silicon Valley to a night at the Emmy awards to an American Kennel Club-certified black Labrador puppy. Dennis Baldwin Interiors, Concierge Du Cuisine, Chelsea Court Designs, Omesha Eternal Elegance, Inc. and Miller Design Company designed this year’s showcases, which were won in drawings at the luncheon and evening shows.
Students who participated as models said the fashion show presented an opportunity to get involved in a fun and exciting way.
“I just like hanging out with my friends and doing this,” said model Danielle Buis, Gr. 12. “It was just cool to see how we come together as a community.”
Veronica Hsieh, Gr. 12, also served as a model in her freshman year and said she enjoyed being a part of the show “because the entire school’s involved. It’s fun to all be part of the Harker community, to see all ages.”
Nearly 200 students took an active and highly important role in this year’s event, modeling on the runway, greeting attendees, acting as hosts and hostesses and performing in one of the performing arts groups.
After the show, Riedel reflected on how the event had grown since its inception. “I really enjoyed the way that having this event has just brought Harker so much more outside of the Harker community,” she said. “I have people walking up to me and saying, ‘I wish I knew about Harker before this so my kids could go there,’ or, ‘This is where my kids are going to go to school.’”
This year, 92 committee members, all of them parents, came together to make sure the fashion show lived up to the reputation it has established. Whether they are securing sponsors, selling tickets or decorating the interiors, parent involvement is and has always been a crucial part of ensuring the event meets an increasingly high standard. Each aspect of the fashion show had a different parent committee chair to manage the many parts of the event that make it such a memorable experience. They were: Sangeeta Balram, Shyamoli Banerjee, Debbie Buss, Barb Chappell, Mariko Creasman, Barbara Drummer, Ram Duraiswamy, Susan Ellenberg, Minoo Gupta, Debbie Hutchings, Lana Kipnis, Lalitha Kumar, Betsy Lindars, Maria Lu, Mary Malysz, Michelle Maxey, Noela Nakos, Tina Najibi, Naren Nayak, Leslie Nielsen, Archana Sathaye, Ingrid Semenza, Shankari Sundar, Sathya Thyagaraj and Heather Wardenburg.
Tina Najibi (Alexander, Gr. 10; Mary, Gr. 6) has been involved with the fashion show since its founding and served as model coordinator for this year’s event. She said the schoolwide nature of the fashion show makes it a great event for parents to network. “When my kids were in lower school and middle school, I met upper school parents, and I got hints on what kinds of clubs to join, what kinds of things to do, that I would not have gotten had I not volunteered for the fashion show,” she said.
After the fashion show, Chris Nikoloff, head of school, thanked all involved for their months of hard work: “Sitting in the audience, as the Harker story unfolded before us throughout the evening, I was overcome with gratitude for the unique community we all share and help to create.”
On Feb. 27, Harker hosted a technology conference for the Silicon Valley Computer-Using Educators organization (SVCUE) at the Saratoga campus. The theme of the conference was “Teach Through Technology,” and offered workshops on how teachers could integrate various technology into their curricula, including podcasts, photos, fair use and Google applications. More than 200 teachers and administrators from all over Silicon Valley attended the conference. Feedback from the conference indicated that it was very well-received. “All presenters were knowledgeable and enthusiastic,” said one visitor. Another said, “Affordability offers an opportunity for professional development in a time of limited funds!”
Harker’s online news site, which originally launched in May 2009, has been redesigned to better meet the needs and interests of our readers.
Upgrades include: expanded and redesigned features area; stories by division section; upcoming events box; Harker History section, and a “print story” function.
Using the WordPress publishing platform, Harker’s online news site replaced the monthly print version of The Harker News as of the 2009-10 school year in Harker’s ongoing commitment to green initiatives.
