Recommendation Letter Resources

So much of my time right now is filled with writing recommendation letters so I thought that you might be interested in some information and articles about good rec letters. Hopefully, if you are a senior, you have already determined if recommendation letters are necessary for any of your applications and asked your teacher(s) or me to write a letter on your behalf. Please stop in and see me as soon as possible if you have realized that you need a recommendation letter, but haven't asked for one yet. Don't forget that you must complete the pink teacher recommendation request form (2 sides) if you are seeking a teacher recommendation letter and you must fill out the 2 sided counselor recommendation supplement form (purple) and ask one of your parents to complete the parent brag sheet (blue) if you need a recommendation letter from me. The colors that I am referencing are in case you are picking up a copy of the forms from the WKHS Counseling and Career Center. These forms are also available for download in the College Application section of the WKHS Counselors website.
