Letters of Recommendation

Most scholarships, colleges and universities require students to submit TWO (2) letters of recommendation. The student should first decide which two teachers they will ask to write the letters. The teachers should currently have the student enrolled in their classes. It is acceptable, though not recommended, to have a letter written by a teacher from last year. Colleges and Universities prefer that it be a current teacher of the student.

The student should complete the "Request for a Letter of Recommendation". Copies can be found in the College and Career Center. The "Request for Letter of Recommendation" is completed by the student. It is then given to the teacher writing the letter. Teachers must have a minimum of two weeks notice for all letters of recommendation.
