John W. McDevitt

Doctor John McDevitt (December 28, 1906 - December 6, 1994) was the eleventh Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus from 1964 to 1977.

Dr. McDevitt was the Superintendent of Schools in Waltham, Massachusetts from 1942 to 1960. The School Street Middle School was named after him in Waltham.

He was elected the eleventh Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus in 1964 and in 1971 was honored by Pope Paul VI with the Order of Pius IX, the highest papal honor which can be conferred on a Catholic layman who is not a head of state.

In 1998 after his death the Delegates at the Supreme Council meeting established a scholarship fund in his name.
