Bob Catina, an original participant in the LEAP-Pleasant Valley School District partnership in 1985, still is engaged in civics having served many years now as a Court Tipstaff in Monroe County after retiring from 36 years as the Pleasant Valley High School Business Law teacher. Bob is here pictured with Monroe County President Judge Margherita Patti-Worthington at the conclusion of a double homicide trial in January 2024 which marked the opening of new courtrooms from a massive multi-million dollar expansion to add space and improve court proceedings. Catina credits his work with LEAP, which continues to today as he still scores mock trials in the statewide program, as the highlight of his professional career!
