After 25 years working as a school counselor at Jonathan Law, Ms. Raymo is retiring at the end of the school year.

Raymo previously worked at Lauralton Hall for 15 years and Notre Dame Academy for three years while also previously working as an English teacher. Raymo shared the impact that Law left on her.

“Being a member of the Law community enabled me to see that there are many young people who will contribute positively to society and the world,” Raymo said.

Raymo’s impact extended far past the walls of the school counseling office. Raymo previously was an advisor for the SCC Diversity Dream Team and a director for plays for three years.

Throughout the duration of her career at Law, there have been a myriad of things that could be easily listed at what Raymo did best. Law Principal Mr. Darcy weighed in in on what he believes Raymo did best as a counselor.

“Her best work is always with our seniors,” Darcy said. “She has a great understanding of the college application process which has assisted many students over the years.”

Raymo’s impact is felt throughout the Law community. Junior Chris Volikas remembers how Raymo helped him during his time at Law.

“Ms. Raymo has always been helpful and supportive of my needs,” Volikas said. “If I’ve ever needed clarification on a class, she would do her best to explain it to me.”

After working at Law for a quarter of a century, Raymo has collected numerous memorable experiences and impactful moments. Her favorite thing about the school, however, revolves around the students.

“Being a member of the Law community is gratifying,” Raymo said. “Together we work to contribute to the future as we support students’ learning and growth into positive individuals.”

Now retired after 43 years working in schools, Raymo shared what she plans to do with her time.

“I plan to relax, read, and spend time with friends,” Raymo said.
