To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing today to recommend (STUDENT NAME) for the National Student Council
Distinguished Student Leader recognition. In addition to his/her meeting the required criteria, I
would like to highlight additional reasons why this student should receive the award.
STUDENT is an outstanding young leader who has made a difference here at SCHOOL and
who is committed to the student council. I have had the pleasure of observing and working with
STUDENT for two years and have witnessed his/her leadership in action.
One of the best examples I can cite that will illustrate what typifies this young man/woman
occurred last year when s/he was working with the student council to assist with a local blood
drive. The activity became a passion and his/her efforts and ingenuity were directly responsible
for signing up over 300 student volunteers to either give blood or recruit their parents and
others. It was one of the most successful drives of the year.
As ambassadors for our school, our student council members are known to our parents and
community. STUDENT works diligently each year to reflect to the community the pride and spirit
we have here at NAME High School.
It is for these and other similar and compelling reasons that I am recommending STUDENT for
the honor of being named a National Student Council Distinguished Student Leader.
Sincerely,
Mr./Ms. Principal
