# MINUTEMAN A REVOLUTION IN LEARNING Dear Sir or Madam, am happy to submit this leter of recommendation on behalf of James Crisafulli, a Senior at Minuteman High School in our Programming and Web Development career major. I have worked with James as his Guidance Counselor and see him as a courteous, responsible, organized, quiet, and organized young man, 1 will always remember James as one of the most courteous students I have worked with. His teachers have always found him to be a pleasure to work with. Minuteman is a vocational school where many students develop the academic, career, and technical skills necessary to be productive members of a global community. Students spend half of their time in core academic classes and the other half in their vocational major. As a Programming and Web Development student James has spent the last four years learning the ins and outs of computer hardware, software, web development, and systems engineering. At this point in time James is proficient with Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Flash, C-sharp, Microsoft Visual Studio, Dreamweaver, Visual Basic, Python, Java, Bash, CSS, MySQL, Web Design, and Database Management. In addition to his curriculum at Minuteman, James also had several jobs as a programmer. Through these experiences James has confirmed his passion for computer science and hopes to build upon that in college. In addition to his challenging Programming and Web Development curriculum, James is currently enrolled in all college prep level academic courses. James is ranked in the 2" Decile of his class with a cumulative un- weighted GPA of 3.76 on a 4.0 scale. He has always been a very consistent student. James has also enrolled in summer programs at Bunker Hill Community College for the past two years to help him further develop his, knowledge of programming. And in his free time for the past 3 years he has spent many hours using the software program “Blender Animation” to hone his skills. Lam happy to recommend James.
