To five teenagers from Philadelphia high schools, Harriton High looked like something from a movie, a school from a world very far away from theirs. The city students — participants in an after-school program run by Temple's University Community Collaborative of Philadelphia (UCCP) — had come to the Lower Merion school to meet some of their suburban peers. They wanted to talk about how they might begin to work together on issues of leadership and community service. Next time, the Harriton students will visit Philadelphia. Down the road, a formal partnership is possible.
