Letters of Recommendation
  • Chemistry teacher

    Last year's students reported that he writes excellent recommendation letters. His chemistry class is the one I put the most effort into to this day.

  • Math teacher

    Did really well in the course, but she mentioned that she couldn't provide enough information in certain areas due to peak COVID. I believe she wrote a very generous recommendation.
