Fourth grader Amiya Chokhawala was awarded high honors by Johns Hopkins University for being among the highest-scoring participants in its 2014 international Talent Search! The award, bestowed by the university’s Center for Talented Youth, is based on a test that measures verbal and mathematical reasoning ability. Sima Shah, Amiya’s mother, noted, “This is a result of strong community work between Harker and family.”

In 2009 Liza Turchinsky, then in grade 3, now grade 9, was recognized by the center.
