Annual Giving
The Harker School has an annual giving fundraising session used to pay for the 30% of the school's expenses that the tuition does not pay for. This includes the performing arts, clubs, and athletic programs. Currently a $25 million annual campaign is underway, supported by parents, alumni, and corporate contributions. Also, seniors can purchase a walkway brick with a cost corresponding to the graduation year (e.g. Class of 2008 = $2008).

Famous quotes containing the words annual and/or giving:
“I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The giving is the hardest part; what does it cost to add a smile?”
—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
