CTASD Alumni

For the past 75 years, we have been educating students who’ve used the skills they learned at CTASD to succeed in life. We are proud of our graduates and want to extend an invitation to them to reconnect with former classmates, network with current and retired professionals, and influence the next generation coming out of Conemaugh.

Each month we will showcase the successes of our alumni by highlighting a different graduate or graduating class. While success looks different in different situations, we want to create an opportunity to acknowledge the thread that ties them all together.

Alumni Highlight

Melanie Glovach Byer graduated from Conemaugh Township in 1993. After high school, Melanie attended the University of Pittsburgh in Johnstown and graduated in 1997 with a degree in communications and public relations. After college, Melanie worked with Girl Scouts of America, Highmark Health, and is currently at Mayo Clinic Laboratories as a clinical specialty representative.

Melanie Byer is the wife of Brian Byer and mother to Jackson and Ava Byer, along with their dog Lulu. She enjoys watching her children’s sporting events, camping, and hanging out with her high school friends, Shannon, Kim, and Joanne, every Christmas. Her favorite teacher in high school was Mr. DeBiase, who Melanie says was an awesome teacher because of his genuine belief that each student could succeed in and out of the classroom, and his ability to make learning geometry fun. Her best memories of high school were made while playing volleyball, basketball, softball, and going to school dances, which she never missed.

Melanie still plays a part in our school and our community as an active member of the Conemaugh Township School Board. Her and her family live in Jerome, PA, where her daughter, Ava, is a senior at Township and her son, Jackson, was a 2022 Township graduate. Melanie has been a living testimony to show that you can still be a part of your school even after graduation through her involvement in our school still today.
