Who is writing your letter of recommendation for the NMS? I know that it says Principal, but you can also have a designated school official write it for you.

I'm getting my counselor. She's more familiar with me than my principal.

when our daughter was a NM semifinalist the school's counselor wrote the recommendation. Much of the information in the recommendation was taken from our daughter's self-evaluation which was given an extremely positive spin by the counselor. It looks good for a school to
have as many NM finalists as possible, so most counselors and principals are prone to write very glowing recommendations.
