Note from Mr. Hopkins:

In regard to the two letters of recommendations, only one of those letters can be from school personnel. The other letter needs to be from someone outside the school. If you have already turned in your application and you need to get another letter of recommendation I will hold onto your application until you get another letter.

If you have concerns or questions please email Mr. Hopkins.
