The Harker School offers students a world-class education, and we’re so grateful to our generous community for providing donations which help make it possible for 100 percent of our students to be accepted to the colleges, universities and conservatories of their choice. With programs from athletics to arts, dance to debate, STEM to service projects, we offer your children an experience here like no other, preparing them to meet the world on many levels.
At Harker, students achieve their fullest potential through our inspiring learning environment, high quality academics, wide-ranging programs and rich extracurriculars. Your philanthropic support helps us deliver an outstanding educational experience here at Harker.
Alumni Giving
In this 125th anniversary year, we recognize that Harker could not have become what it is, a world-renowned educational institution, without our strong tradition of philanthropy and the generosity of our donors. As alumni of the school, you have the opportunity to support your alma mater and participate in that legacy. By supporting the school with a gift to the Annual Giving Campaign you are securing the future of The Harker School for generations to come. Your donation will go directly to the general endowment. No gift is too small, and every gift matters.
Giving to The Harker School: A Tradition of Philanthropy
Charitable giving from Harker families - parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff and friends - has always shaped Harker and continues to provide top-notch opportunities and resources for our students, academics, programs and extracurricular activities.
There are many ways for you, your family or your company to support the school - from making a donation, participating in an event, supporting a fundraiser or volunteering your time.
