Dear Senior Exit Portfolio Evaluator;
I have had the pleasure of working with Jose Varela throughout his high school career. He is a
very impressive and accomplished student. As a former high school principal, he is one of the
most outstanding students I have had the pleasure of working with throughout my educational
career. I am continually impressed by his leadership, goal-oriented attitude and self-direction.
As an officer in the Southern California Future Farmers of America Program, and the
Westminster High School FFA Club, he continues to be an exceptional student role model
because of his dedication and passion for agriculture, his organizational skills and his willingness
to provide mentorship to younger students.
As an Explorer with the Westminster Police Department, his leadership and professional
demeanor have made him a respected member of our law enforcement team. We rely on the
Explorers to provide valuable police services to the WPD and the City, such as traffic control and
monitoring, and representation at community events. Jose fulfills these duties with the highest
degree of responsibility and professionalism.
I am personally very proud of Jose’s accomplishments. He is an outstanding member of our
community and an exemplary member of the Westminster High School family. I know he will
be successful whatever the future may hold for him.
Diana Lee Carey,
Councilwoman, City of Westminster
