On Feb. 11, Harker students Jeremy Ko, Ethan Liu, Jason Shim, Rohan Bhowmik and Arnav Swaroop took second place at the U.S. Department of Energy Regional Science Bowl, held at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford University. The team was coached by upper school chemistry teacher Mala Raghavan. 

Although the team didn’t win, it was victorious over defending national champions Lynbrook High School, which Harker chemistry teacher Robbie Korin called a “major accomplishment.”
