We are thrilled to launch the Harborside Academy History Project as we approach our 20th anniversary! This initiative is designed to capture and preserve the rich history of our school by gathering stories from founding staff, early students, and key contributors who have helped shape Harborside into what it is today. Your participation is invaluable to creating this living archive for our community.
Project Details and How to Get Started
To make this process as straightforward as possible, we’ve created a Google Drive folder for everything you need. This folder contains:
Detailed Instructions:
Step-by-step guidelines on recording and submitting your interview video.
Color-Coded Question Sets:
Each group of participants has a unique set of questions in the folder, color-coded to match specific groups (founding staff, early teachers, first-year students, etc.).
Upload Folder for Videos:
Inside the Google Drive link, you’ll find color-coded folders where you can upload your completed video.
Next Steps
Open the Google Folder: Click the link provided below to access all materials, including the instructions, your set of questions, and your designated upload folder.
Record Your Interview: Using your phone or any other recording device, please state the question number before answering. There’s no need to edit the video—we’re looking for authentic responses!
Submit by November 29, 2024:
Once you’ve recorded your interview, upload it to the designated Google Drive folder that matches the color of your question set.
We’d also like to ask for your help in reaching out to former students from Harborside’s inaugural year and the first five years, as their stories are key to preserving our early history. Feel free to share this project with them or let us know if you have contact information.
