Eual J. Landry, Sr. Middle School in Hahnville was named to honor his achievements.

Don Raymond, an outstanding student athlete, transferred to Hahnville High School from Carver High in the ninth grade through the “freedom of choice” option. He lettered in four sports and was on the 1968 Class AA football team. His life was cut tragically short due to injuries received in a traffic collision on the River Road in Hahnville. Out of respect for his achievements as an individual, a student, and an athlete, each year the Don Raymond Track and Field Relays are held at Hahnville High School in his honor.
