The HCN Schools Committee acts as a liaison between our local high schools and students and the Harvard College Admissions Office. We act as a resource for students who want more information about Harvard and try to encourage high achieving students to apply to Harvard. We interview all Collier County seniors applying to Harvard. Our reports to the Admissions Office are an important part of the applicants’ files. Interviewing these impressive students is rewarding, intellectually stimulating and a great way to stay in touch with the issues facing today’s youth as well as our community.  We welcome graduates of the College, who are available in December and January, when most of our interviews are conducted, to assist the Schools Committee with interviews. In the spring we award the Harvard Book Prize to a deserving member of the junior class in each local high school.  We also welcome HCN members’ help in presenting these books at the different award ceremonies. Please contact Committee Chair Patrick R. George '93 MBA '99 at pgeorge@post.harvard.edu if you would like to participate in the HCN Schools Committee.
