To Whom It May Concern:

It will be my pleasure to recommend John Mikulski for a leadership position at your school.
John did his administrative internship in our district during the summer of 2012. As the
Middle/High School Principal, I had the opportunity to become acquainted with John personally
as well as in a professional manner.
John was a breath of fresh air for our district. He took the initiative to develop an online
disciplinary system for the entire district. We are now able to submit and process referrals online
and have a tracking process for accountability. John was instrumental in assisting us with
updating our code of conduct to include new regulations for the Dignity Act. He researched and
contacted a presenter for our first day student assembly and our texting/driving simulation event.
He also assisted me with the master schedule. John was willing (and eager!) to learn about or
help me with other responsibilities I had during the summer.

John has the characteristics that will make him a quality educational leader. He is goal
driven and able to look at the big picture when decisions need to be made. During his
internship, he had a calm, confident manner when addressing different situations and
interacting with different faculty/staff members. I found John to be extremely hard
working and eager to take advantage of new learning opportunities. He is efficient,
dedicated, organized, and knowledgeable (especially with technology). He is the kind of
person you can trust to get the job done and done well.
I cannot say enough about John Mikulski. He is a genuine people person and an
outstanding role model. I would love to hire John here to be a member of our
administrative team. I do not hesitate to give him my highest recommendation.
I would be more than happy to answer any specific questions. Please feel free to call me
at 585-948-5211 x4202 or email me at lmuscarella@oahornets.org if you feel that I may be of
any further assistance.

Sincerely,

Lynn L. Muscarella
