Student Self-Assessment: Many college applications require Counselor and Teacher recommendation letters to be sent along with the transcript. In order to assist those writing these letters we ask that all students complete a "Brag Sheet" (Student Self-Assessment) and submit it along with the Transcript Request Form to the Counseling Office.
