To Whom It May Concern,
It is with great pleasure that I write in recommendation for Mr. Paul Donovan. Paul and I have
been working together at Gloucester High School for three years. As a Special Needs Teacher I
have found that my students continue to need the support of the Internet Technology Group. Paul
is quick to meet the demands of the computer age within my classroom.
Paul is eager to engage students at any level into the world of technology. Some of my most
challenging students who are “techies” have been selected to work as interns after school under
the direction on Mr. Donovan. They have had the opportunity to learn in a hands on environment
some of the basic skills needed for the IT world.
As an IT TEAM member at GHS, Paul is prompt and skilled in his craft. He will respond in a
professional manner to ALL questions both easy and difficult. Paul will take the time to assist
staff with their on-going questions regarding the world of technology. He has been especially
helpful to me as I continue to find my way in a world that is most challenging. Paul continues to
promote and support a vast array of students and staff at GHS. I am continued to be amazed at
the level of commitment he brings to his craft, as he strives to engage all students to work
together in the pursuit of a common goal- technology.
The TEAM approach to technology is a MUST in a comprehensive high school. Paul continues
to work to provide both students and staff with a high level of IT support. Working together we
continue to provide students with the tools to be successful in the academic classroom and
beyond.
GHS is a better place with Paul Donovan on our TEAM!
Most sincerely,
