Milford HS Counselor Receives Yale Educator Award

A Milford high school school counselor has been honored with the 2015 Yale Educator Award.

Michele Haramis, a guidance counselor at Jonathan Law High School, received the award from the Yale Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

The Yale Educator Recognition Program seeks to honor educators from around the world who support their students to perform at high levels and achieve excellence.

Haramis was one of 28 counselors and 51 teachers—out of 276 total nominees—to receive the award.

A statement from the Yale Admissions Office said it “attributes the exceptional quality of the Yale student body to educators like these recipients of the 2015 Yale Educator Award, who shape their students long before they attend Yale. The Admission Office is proud to thank these and all educators for their ongoing efforts in motivating and supporting their students.”
