I am happy to be a part of the H.E. Corley Elementary family! I graduated from Lander University in 2017 with a Bachelors of Science in Special Education. I received my Masters in Autism Spectrum Disorder in the fall of 2020 from Grand Canyon University. For my first two years teaching, I taught elementary Resource with students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade in Greenwood, South Carolina. This will be my sixth year teaching and my fourth year in Lexington-Richland School District 5 as a teacher.  I was a student in this district as I grew up in Chapin and went to Chapin schools from kindergarten all the way through high school. I am very excited to be able to teach and give back to the school district I grew up in! It feels good to be back home and love being a part of H.E. Corley Elementary!

My husband and I are expecting our first baby at the end of August. In my free time, I like to spend time with my family, riding horses with my husband (we have two), and taking care of our chickens and ducks.

My name is Jessica Catalano and I am super excited to be a part of the H. E. Corley family. I grew up in a small town in Massachusetts and attended Central Connecticut State University. I graduated in 2006 with a Bachelor's of Science in Physical Education and Health. While attending CCSU I was a member of the division 1 soccer and track and field teams. I taught 10th grade Physical Education and Health at Wethersfield High School for 4 years as well as coached soccer and track & field before deciding to stay home with my children.
