campaign

Phase III Fundraising Progress Report In the past few years Harker has received gifts and pledges of approximately $10 million for the Science & Technology Center. The estimated cost of Phase III is $25 million. Therefore, at this time we need to raise an additional $15 million to pay for the construction of the Science & Technology Center, the athletic field and pool. The campaign for the Science & Technology Center is moving to its “public phase” with gifts and pledge payments being accepted through the first quarter of 2009. Pledges to this phase of the campaign can be paid over the next three tax years.

Harker Recognizes our Generous Visionary Donors

Phase III Addition to Feature Athletic Field and Pool In addition to breaking ground on the Science & Technology Center this summer, we will also be adding a new athletic field and regulation pool, complete with bleachers for fans to watch and cheer on our teams. The athletic facilities will be completed in the fall of 2007. It is through the generosity and leadership of John and Christine Davis (pictured at left) and other interested parents that this project is able to take place at the same time as the Science & Technology Center. Christine and John Davis are among the Visionary Donors at Harker and will be serving as co-chairs of this phase of the Capital Campaign.

■ Facilities Named in Their Honor The new Science & Technology Center will have specially designed wings for each of the academic disciplines. Each of these wings will be named in honor of one of our generous visionar y benefactors.

The Jain Technology Wing will be named in honor of Navindra and Madhu Jain, who made the first visionar y gift of $1 million, after the Nichols Family donated the Saratoga Campus to the school in 1972.

The Pawlowski Chemistry Wing will be named in honor of alumni parent Brian Pawlowski, for the visionar y gift he gave when the planning was still just beginning for this project.

The Ringold Interdisciplinary Science Research Center will be named in honor of current Harker parents Tanya and Gordon Ringold, who recently made a second generous gift to the Cornerstones Campaign.

■ Additional Visionary Donors Shah Hall was dedicated in 2000 honoring Lata and Ajay Shah, the lead donors for the building.

The Patil Performing Arts Center will be built in Phase IV of the Master Site Plan for the Saratoga site. The Patil Per forming Ar ts Center will be named in honor of Suhas and Jayashree Patil, who made an early visionar y gift to the Cornerstones Campaign.

Nichols Plaza will be the arrival plaza to the Saratoga campus upon the completion of the Saratoga campus build-out. In 1972, Howard and Diana Nichols donated the land on which the Saratoga site sits to the Harker Foundation.

■ Other Donor Recognition In addition to the Visionaries, Harker is for tunate to have many generous parents, alumni, alumni parents, grandparents, faculty and staf f members, and friends of Harker who have made gifts to the campaign.

New donors to the Capital Campaign are recognized in each year’s annual r epor t. Donors making gifts of $2,500 or more are recognized at their lifetime cumulative gift/pledge level on the donor walls located on the Saratoga and Bucknall campuses. Donors making gifts/pledges of $10,000 to $10,000,000 are recognized by having a special place on campus named in their honor.

Krishnamurthi Matching Gift Challenge Ashok Krishnamurthi and Deepa Iyengar, Harker Visionary Donors, are very committed to helping raise the money for this phase of the campaign. They wish to see the project completed as soon as possible so our students can enjoy the use of the facilities. Therefore, they have made a matching gift challenge to the families with students involved in athletics in grades K-8. They will match dollar for dollar all gifts and pledges made to the school before June of 2007, up to $1,000,000. The Krishnamurthi’s have been long time supporters of the Harker School and hope you will join them in investing in Harker’s future.

“It’s not often that one gets an opportunity to positively affect the future. At Harker, by making a difference in the future brain trust of our greater community, we all win.” —Ashok Krishnamurthi

Annual Giving and Capital Campaign: What’s the Difference?

Each fall we kick off the Annual Giving Campaign by asking our parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty and friends to make a gift to the Annual Fund. These gifts are solicited by a group of parent volunteers called the Parent Development Council and are used to support the operating budget.

As with most independent schools, tuition does not cover the full costs of running Harker. Annual Giving gifts are the primary gifts we ask from the school community and these contributions are what help provide the “margin of excellence” we offer our students and faculty. Generally speaking, a gift to Annual Giving is made from a donor’s disposable income, rather than from their assets. Many corporations will match a gift made to the Annual Giving Campaign.

“…Annual Giving is akin to our checking ac-

count and the Capital Campaign is our savings account.

”

We are currently leaving the “quiet phase” of our Capital Campaign. This means that we are announcing publicly a campaign to raise funds for Phase III of the Cornerstones Campaign – the Science & Technology Center and athletic field and pool. Capital Campaign gifts, often made from a donor’s assets, can be made with a multiyear commitment and are used to improve permanent assets, i.e. facilities or to build an endowment.

One way to think about Annual Giving and a Capital Campaign is to think that Annual Giving is akin to our checking account and the Capital Campaign is our savings account. Our checking account is used for daily and routine expenses and our savings account is to invest in the future. For example, the cost of sets and costumes for a performing arts show are an Annual Giving expense, whereas the cost to build the new performing arts center will use capital funds. It is critical that throughout the capital campaign, we continue to support Annual Giving.

A History of Capital Giving at Harker ■ The Early Years Major Donald Nichols established Harker as a nonprofit school in 1965.

Prior to 1965, Harker operated as a for-profit school, the common structure for private schools at that time. In 1972, Howard and Diana Nichols

When it became clear that the school was going to be sustainable in the new location, the Nichols family donated the land that the Saratoga campus sits on to the Harker School. Their multimillion dollar gift was the first Visionary gift to Harker and launched Harker on its path to becoming the school it is today.

In the early days of Harker, the Mothers and Fathers Clubs, the predecessors to the Parent Development Council, were founded to fundraise for both annual enhancements and major capital improvements, such as the pool, gym, athletic fields and classroom renovations on the Saratoga campus and new school buses. Today, the Parent Development Council focuses its efforts on raising funds for the equipment and programs that make up our “margin of excellence” each year.

moved the schools -- the Palo Alto Military Academy and the Miss Harker School -- from Palo Alto to the beautiful new campus located at 500 Saratoga Avenue in San Jose, Calif. At the new location, the schools merged to become Harker Academy, a co-educational, independent, private school.

In 1992, Harker embarked on its first capital campaign, the Campaign for Harker’s Future, which consisted of the construction of a new kindergarten building (which now houses the Upper School’s visual arts complex). With this campaign, Harker’s financial model reflected the model used by independent schools today. From 1994-96, Harker conducted the Passing the Torch Campaign, which was focused on filling the need for a new academic building for grades 7 and 8. The result was Dobbins Hall.

Today, Dobbins is used as general classroom space; upon the completion of the Science & Technology Center, Dobbins will be the US math building.

■ The Cornerstones Campaign for Success In 1996, Harker conducted a feasibility study on whether or not to add a high school. The study concluded with an overwhelming consensus to add a high school and to build one of the very best ones in the country.

The following is excerpted from a joint letter from Howard and Diana Nichols that was sent to the Harker community stating the intentions for the new upper school in 1997.

“Dear Friends: Big things are happening at The Harker School. You see, we’ll be opening the doors to Harker High School in fall 1998, making it the newest private, non-sectarian, co-educational high school in the South Bay. Why? Because the existing schools are experiencing unprecedented demand as part of a national shift toward private education. And also because we are committed to offering Harker students an education that will prepare them for the university of their choice...

As we said, big things are happening here at Harker, and we need your help.”

In 1998, the Cornerstones for Success Campaign was launched to complete this vision. It would take an extensive multiyear, multiphase campaign to provide the facilities to match the quality of our students and teachers.

The name “Cornerstones Campaign” was chosen to highlight the four cornerstones that are the formula for Harker’s success: 1) outstanding

students, 2) motivating teachers, 3) quality curriculum, and 4) outstanding facilities.

Prior to welcoming the first class of incoming freshmen, the lower school students had to be moved to a new site. Then the middle school students needed their own space -- Shah Hall -- and as they outgrew that space, they too needed to be moved to a separate site. And now, Harker can return its focus to the Saratoga site and build out the campus to better fit the needs of its upper school students.

Phase I - Bucknall Campus With the establishment of the upper school on the Saratoga campus, Harker searched for a new home fit for primary and elementary students.

On Jan. 7, 1998, escrow closed on the Bucknall campus and Harker officially took possession.

By September the Bucknall site was brought to Harker’s high standards, its appearance and functionality had improved greatly and it was ready Harker News — March 07

Phase III Science & Technology Center The Science & Technology Center marks the beginning of the build-out of the Saratoga site. The addition of the Science & Technology Center will provide the kind of classrooms that will match the quality and capabilities of our talented students and teachers. This phase also includes the addition of an athletic field and regulation-size pool Future projects include the Patil Performing Arts Center, a gymnasium, a library and a student center.

for the lower school students and faculty. Among the renovations to the existing site were: completely refurbishing the classrooms with new heating and air conditioning systems; new computer and electrical systems; new paint, carpets, flooring and counter space; densely planting the perimeter of the grounds and adding fences and gates and two new fully equipped commercial kitchens.

In addition to renovating existing buildings, Harker built the gymnasium/ classroom complex. This allowed for a state-of-the-art stage and playground complex; two large performing arts classrooms; separate computer labs for grade K-Gr. 3 and Gr. 4-5; a new kindergarten area with classrooms; separate science labs for grades 2-3; the 500-classroom building and a beautiful new pool. These facilities were funded in large part by many generous Harker families.

Phase II – Shah Hall After welcoming the first upper school class, it became a reality that the middle school students needed a space of their own to learn and grow. In response, Phase II of the Cornerstones Campaign was initiated in 1999 and Shah Hall was built. Shah Hall provided the middle school with a state-

of-the-art space that was solely designated and designed to fit their needs.

In September 2000, Shah Hall was dedicated recognizing the visionary gift of Ajay Shah and Lata Krishnan.

Harker News — March 07

As the planning for the construction of the Science & Technology building moves ahead, one of the many factors being considered is how to make the building as “green” as possible. Part of the process is having the building LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified. The school receives LEED points for employees and visitors who drive very low- and zero-emission vehicles to work, and may offer preferential parking to those drivers to encourage others to purchase those types of vehicle. Other LEED factors include making the building energy efficient and using renewable resources in construction.

According to the U.S. Green Building Council Web site, “the LEED Green Building Rating System is the national benchmark for high performance green buildings.”
