TEACHERS: CLICK HERE: TEACHER RECOMMENDATION FORM

Please complete each section of this recommendation form. YRECHS is requesting that you provide an accurate/honest assessment of this scholar's suitability as a participant in a challenging high school program. We rely heavily on your recommendation.

The YREC application is a multi-step process that includes completion of the YREC High School application, a personal interview, 2 core teacher recommendations, and a mandatory 3-week Summer Bridge program in June that must be completed successfully for final selection to YREC. 

In addition to completing the 2025 YREC application, other documents will be needed to complete the application process. If these documents are not submitted, it may affect your application status. Please refer to the information provided to assist you with gathering the additional required documents in order to finalize your application. The guidance information will differ for YCSD internal applicants compared to external applicants from outside the district, therefore, please refer to the one section that applies to you. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the YREC administrative assistant, Sandra Mitchell, at <sandra.mitchell@youngstown.k12.oh.us> or at 330-744-7923 ext. 7921
