When layoffs happen, it's never the upper level management that gets the ax. Also, the hours for working becomes more burdensome during finals week.

I joined Harker after doing middle school in San Jose school district. Now my parents were pretty proud that I passed the test and got in. But I was a little nervous -- other kids in this school seemed overly academic and I wondered, will I be able to hold my own.

The teachers came to the rescue. I did not feel that in any way that they have a bias for longer term students. I am off to a great start and know that through Harker I can get into Yale. It's all good!
