-Established 1895. Merced High School “Home of Scholars and Champions” 205 West Olive Avenue, Merced CA 95348 (209) 385-6465 October 9, 2015 To Whom It May Concern: Shantia Hedrington was a student in my U.S. History class during the school year 2014-2015. She maintained a B average for the entire year. She was always prepared for class and brought her positive attitude to class. Currently she is a Senior and is taking several courses to get a head start on her future goal of becoming a registered nurse. She specifically would like to work with domestic violence victims and | greatly admire her for pursuing that goal. While in high school she has been involved with basketball for two years and has started a Regional Occupational Program job at our local Merced Mall. Shantia excels in Health and Science courses and is determined to graduate from high school and continue her education. | have found Shantia to be a friendly and goal oriented young lady and would love to see her receive some assistance so that she may continue her education and go on to help others. Sincerely, aM, auntie, Jebnsm Maureen McGarry Johnson U.S. History instructor mjohnson@muhsd.org
