In your letter, please reference how you know the student. If they participated in an activity or community service, please mention traits that show their character and/or leadership skills. Each recommendation letter should be accompanied with a copy of this cover letter.
NJHS membership is an outstanding opportunity to develop the habits and standards so important to success in high school, college, and a career.
NJHS chapters operate in all 50 states and schools around the world, engaging and serving more than one million students. Each year, the average NJHS chapter contributes: 650 hours of school/community service.
However, remember that simply being a member doesn't stand out as much as actively participating and holding a leadership role. Colleges often look for depth of involvement rather than a long list of memberships, so your personal contribution and impact within NJHS can be what really enhances your application.
My name is your name, and I am a proud school year student at your high school. With a grade point average of your GPA, I am deeply committed to academic excellence. Through my dedication to learning, I have achieved high grades and developed valuable study habits and a strong work ethic.
Be specific about your achievements. Provide examples of leadership roles you've held, whether in school clubs, sports, or community activities. Explain how these experiences have shaped your leadership style. Detail your involvement in community service projects.
