Here are step-by-step instructions on how to ask for a letter of recommendation:
1. Ask your teacher or counselor for a letter of recommendation in person. When asking for one from a counselor, you must fill out the survey below. For all performing arts students, your counselor LOR will be written by Ms. Peña. For all design, visual, and media arts students, your counselor LOR will be written by Ms. Schultz. Your thorough responses to the questions on the survey will help us write a recommendation that reflects your academic and artistic talents, as well as your character and growth as a person.
