Alumni gathered in early January in the Edge for the now-traditional Home for the Holidays get-together at Harker. Approximately 100 people, including faculty and administrators, attended.

“We want you to feel like when you are back in the Bay Area, or going to school in the Bay Area, Harker is a home to you: come anytime,” said Christopher Nikoloff, head of school, addressing the gathering.

The event brings college-aged alumni (this year they are from the classes of ’07, ’08, ’09 and ’10) back to campus to visit with teachers and with friends who may still be students. The atmosphere was congenial, and celebrants had cookies and cider as they caught up with friends and met administrators.
