The Clearfield County Career and Technology Center is proud to welcome Mrs. Dawn Bressler as our new Principal.
Mrs. Bressler completed her undergraduate degree in Education at Clarion University, followed by a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Gannon University. She also earned her Principal Certification. Her teaching career began at St. Francis, where she taught middle school math, before stepping into her first principal role at St. Cosmas and Damian in Punxsutawney. From there, she continued her administrative journey at DuBois Central Catholic.
After many rewarding years in leadership, Mrs. Bressler briefly stepped away from education before returning to the classroom at CCCTC, where she taught math tailored to each specific trade program. This role gave her a new perspective on the incredible opportunities within the trades and the growing demand for skilled workers across our region. She quickly recognized the value of career and technical education in preparing students with the hands-on experience needed for future success.
Working side by side with trade instructors through co-teaching has allowed Mrs. Bressler to support curriculum development, strengthen collaboration, and deepen her understanding of each program. These experiences have reinforced her commitment to supporting teachers, staff, and—most importantly—students.
Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Dawn Bressler to her new role as Principal of CCCTC. Her passion for education, strong leadership background, and dedication to student success make her an outstanding addition to our school community.
