What Central Cambria School District does

Central Cambria School District is a public K-12 school district and political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, headquartered at 208 Schoolhouse Road, Ebensburg, Pennsylvania. The district serves students residing in Cambria Township, Jackson Township, and Ebensburg Borough through four schools: Cambria Elementary School, Jackson Elementary School, Central Cambria Middle School, and Central Cambria High School, operating under the "Red Devils" identity. It is governed by a nine-member Board of School Directors with staggered four-year terms, under Board President Dr. Thomas Woods and Vice President Paul Seymour, with day-to-day operations led by Superintendent Dr. Jason S. Moore. The district is subject to the Pennsylvania School Code, Act 1 of 2006 (tax-raising limits), Title IX, Section 504, ADA Title II, and the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).

The district's service portfolio spans the full K-12 academic continuum plus specialized programs: CC Cyber Academy (online learning), Home Education Program (homeschool oversight), English Language Development, Gifted Education, Special Education, athletics, food services, health services, transportation, college and career advising, and mental health support through Student Assistance Programs. Career and technical education is delivered in partnership with Admiral Peary Vo-Tech, and dual enrollment is offered with Mount Aloysius College. The technology stack is conventional for K-12: PowerSchool for the student information system and Guardian Portal, Edlio for the website and parent communication, Google SSO, Skyward for grades, and Follett Destiny for library management. Pricing is not applicable to core instructional services as the district is a public entity; ancillary revenue includes yearbook sales through Jostens at $79–$83 per unit by order date.

The district is funded primarily through local property taxes (subject to Act 1 of 2006), Pennsylvania state education funding, and federal Title I, II, and IV programs. The Board has publicly acknowledged declining enrollment and operational costs exceeding inflation, with revenue-raising constrained by Act 1 of 2006, and is currently reviewing the financial implications of maintaining a satellite elementary school. The Proposed Final General Fund Budget for fiscal year 2026-27 has been posted for public inspection, with Board adoption scheduled for June 10, 2026. Public bidding notices for several projects have also been issued.

Direct peers

• Penn Cambria School District: Cambria County public K-12 district serving nearby townships. Direct peer in scale, governance structure, and student demographic profile, with overlapping feeder patterns into regional vo-tech and higher-ed partnerships.
• Westmont Hilltop School District: Adjacent Cambria County public K-12 district serving comparable municipality mix. Direct peer operating under identical Pennsylvania School Code framework with similar enrollment scale and program offerings.
• Forest Hills School District: Cambria County public K-12 district serving a comparable township/borough footprint in the same labor market. Direct peer for benchmarking academic outcomes, staffing models, and per-pupil cost structures.
• Greater Johnstown School District: Neighboring public K-12 school district in Cambria County, PA. Direct peer given geographic proximity, comparable rural/urban Pennsylvania demographic profile, and similar funding constraints under Act 1 of 2006.
• Richland School District: Cambria County public K-12 district referenced in CCSD's athletic schedule (Football vs. Richland). Direct peer of similar size and demographics competing for the same regional student population.

Emerging players

• Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School (PA Cyber): Statewide online public school operating as a cyber charter in Pennsylvania. Competes with CCSD's in-person offerings and serves as a primary cause of enrollment leakage from brick-and-mortar districts like CCSD.
• Bishop McCort Catholic School System: Private Catholic K-12 institution in Johnstown, PA. Emerging competitor for the same regional student pool, particularly families seeking alternative educational models within driving distance of CCSD's catchment.

Regional players

• Somerset Area School District: Adjacent county (Somerset County) public K-12 district serving a rural Pennsylvania service area. Regional peer with comparable demographic profile but distinct jurisdictional footprint.

Others

• Mount Aloysius College: Local Catholic college partner offering CCSD students dual enrollment credit. Adjacent ecosystem participant — not a direct competitor, but a strategic higher-education pathway partner.

Broad incumbents

• Admiral Peary Area Vocational Technical School: Regional career and technical education provider that is also a CCSD partner. Comparable in that it serves secondary students across multiple sending districts and competes for the same CTE-enrollment dollars and student interest.
