With school ending last week, Michael Ray is retiring after 33 years as a teacher – nine years in Effingham County and the last 24 years in Bulloch County. In fact, he has been teaching at Southeast Bulloch High School for the past 23 years. Raised in Camden County, S.C., where his mom Idell still lives, Ray attended Georgia Southern College where he fondly remembers taking numerous classes with Professors Dan Good (Geography), Harris Mobley (Anthropology), and Charlton Moseley (History).
