2010 Senior Profile: Your first step to getting a counselor recommendation
Hey Seniors! CLICK HERE if you need to download a copy of the Senior Profile that is used by your counselor to write your letters of recommendation. Please note that you only need to complete this if you are applying to a college that requires a counselor recommendation letter. Once you have this completed please turn it in to Mrs. Strickland in the Depot. Please allow 2 weeks for the counselor to write your letter. That means DO NOT ask them to do it the day before it is due to the college! Not that any of you would do that , of course ; - )
