Ms. McCoy is retiring after 12 years at Jonathan Law.

McCoy, who teaches Child Development, Interior Design, along with other classes, has been a staple of the Law community and will definitely be missed. She has helped many students with not only their college process, but with life.

“She has a great sense of humor that you only see when you get to know her a bit,” Law Principal Mr. Darcy said. “I’ve learned a lot from her and have enjoyed getting to know her over the past few years.”

McCoy taught at four different school districts but is glad she is ending her career with what she called the “best district.”

“I am so glad to be ending my time teaching at Law,” McCoy said. “I think I saved the best for last between the support, camaraderie and students. I feel I am ending on a great note.”

During retirement, McCoy plans to travel, improve her golf game, and visit her friends and family who live across the country. 

“I will miss her presence, her presence makes a difference in my day, she always has a smile on her face and is always willing to help out in any way with my assignments for her class,” junior Avery Granger said.

In her time at Law, McCoy says she has learned to appreciate everyone and to take time for yourself. She also learned to keep humor in everything she does. 

“I will miss the amazing supportive faculty and all the amazing students,” McCoy said.

McCoy has dedicated their professional lives to working with kids at Law and left such a huge impact on other educators in the building and in the district. 

“Some of my favorite things I like about teaching at Law are how I am able to try new things with the students, being creative in how to approach different subjects and topics and the support I get when doing them,” McCoy said.
