Letters of Recommendation
Students may need Letters of Recommendation for some schools. Please research this carefully and only ask for letters from Counselors and Teachers if they are required. You need to ask in person at least two weeks in advance of the due date. For the Counselor LOR, please complete this form to assist us with your information.
