Details:
The Marge Christensen Gould Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of Marge Gould.
Marge Gould taught at Catalina HS for 28 years, retiring in 2014. For over 18 of those years she was the coordinator and teacher for the LEARN Program (an alternative literacy and workplace skills program for at-risk students).
All the students were recognized for their achievements at an annual “Celebrate Literacy” ceremony and outstanding students received laptop computers and scholarships donated by the many business leaders and government partners Marge worked so hard to cultivate. This scholarship is intended to continue that legacy.
