My name is Mike Dale and I am the Assistant Principal for student Life at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter of recommendation for Keith griffin. My name is Mike Dale and I am the Assistant Principal for student Life at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Cristo Rey is a Twin Cities private, college-preparatory high school that serves low-income students.

Master Griffin was brought on board to participate in Cristo Rey’s Social Success Program offered after school from 4 pm to 5:30 pm Monday through Thursday. Master Griffin started with Cristo Rey last year. Master Griffin is a fabulous teacher and was very popular with the students. He works with large numbers of freshman and sophomores two times per week and never has discipline problems he cannot manage. Students enjoy learning martial arts with him and the discipline that goes with learning martial arts.

I recommend Keith Griffin for any program or position for which he is qualified. He is a great teacher and person and will benefit any group with which he is associated. Please feel free to contact me for further information.

Sincerely,



Michael J. Dale
