The teacher recommendation form is a confidential form to be given to your child’s teacher/school to complete. A requirement of the admissions process is that your child’s recommendation form needs to be returned directly to Admissions by your school. For each applying student, Holy Trinity School will need to receive a “Transcript and Recommendation Release Form” and “Student (Teacher) Recommendation Form(s).” The forms and the instructions for submission can be found by clicking the links below.
