Generally speaking, students will be able to satisfy college application requirements with two teacher recommendations as well as a recommendation from their School Counselor.
Students are encouraged to seek recommendations with the following considerations:
- a teacher of a core subject (English, Math, Science and/or Social Studies)
- a teacher within the subject area that the student would like to pursue in college (example: Business, Music, Art)
Please consider the suggestions for how to request a teacher recommendation.
Teacher submit their completed recommendation letters to the Student Services Office. Recommendation letters are kept on file for six years.
Please note that colleges & universities using the Common Application require students to invite teachers to submit recommendations electronically. Please plan accordingly, as teachers will need to have a few weeks to complete quality recommendations for all of their students.
