The team plans to play as many different courses around the Bay Area before their first match next week. “With no fall season, not seeing my teammates and practicing alone felt a little discouraging, but I’m really grateful we have an in-person season ahead of us,” golfer Andrea Thia (11) said.

With three rescued dogs, two of which were adopted from an organization she volunteers at called One Planet Rescue, she experienced the scattered process of signing paperwork. She is currently enrolled in Harker’s Incubator 1 class, where students ideate products or services and begin the process of creating their businesses. “I went through the adoption process myself, and it was very tedious. So I kind of came up with the idea at the beginning of the incubator class,” she said. “I’ve always loved dogs and animals, so this was a good business for me to start.” Link in bio for full article featuring other student entrepreneurs!

      Illuminated by soft purple light, a girl drives pa Illuminated by soft purple light, a girl drives past empty fields, singing a song of love and loss, of heartbreak and healing.   This is the opening scene of the music video for 17-year-old Olivia Rodrigo’s debut single “Drivers License.” The song gained almost immediate popularity, reaching No. 1 in the U.S. across Spotify, Youtube and Apple Music and staying No. 1 on the Billboard Top 100 for the past four weeks. Malar Bala (11), a violinist who plays in the upper school orchestra, felt a connection with Rodrigo because of her young age. Malar appreciated her ability to write about heartfelt and vulnerable moments. “Just someone our age who has lived life the way that we have and wrote a song that has touched so many people is really inspiring,” Malar said.
