John Catalano Scholarship Fund


The John Catalano Scholarship Fund was established in 2019 through the Last Will and Testament of John Catalano. Chief Warrant Officer, 4th Class, U.S. Navy, John Catalano passed away in May 2018 at the age of 91. John graduated from Reading High School and then went on to Albright College, and then to Lehigh University to earn his master’s degree. He also served in the U.S. Navy during WWII and Korea and served in the Naval Reserve for 43 years. John was a history teacher at Northwest Junior High School before becoming a guidance counselor at Reading High School until his retirement.
