Business Challenge 
Tomorrow’s leaders may still be in school, but they already have their 
own ideas about how things should work. Students today know that 
education can come from many sources, including teachers, textbooks, 
and increasingly, a vast online universe that is accessible from virtually 
any device. They are also learning more about environmental 
sustainability, with many believing that individuals and organizations 
have a responsibility to save energy and minimize their carbon footprint 
wherever possible. 
At least, that’s the view of many students at The Harker School, one of 
the largest and most respected independent schools in the United 
States, with an enrollment of 1,800 K-12 students. Living in the heart of 
Silicon Valley, these young people are early adopters of the latest 
technologies and ardent environmentalists, who recently presented 
their own green initiatives at the White House.
