Craig P. Miller Inducted into 2026 Keystone Central Hall of Fame
The Keystone Central School District proudly announces the induction of 1976 Bucktail alumni Judge Craig P. Miller into the 2026 Keystone Central Hall of Fame, honoring a lifetime of distinguished service marked by integrity, fairness, and an enduring commitment to his home community.
A 1976 graduate of Bucktail Area High School, Judge Miller has always carried a deep appreciation for his hometown of Renovo and the people of Clinton County. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Lock Haven University in 1980 and his Juris Doctor from the Dickinson School of Law in 1983, laying the academic groundwork for a career devoted entirely to public service. Shortly after his admission to the Pennsylvania Bar, he began his legal career as Law Clerk to President Judge Carson V. Brown.
Judge Miller went on to serve Clinton County for more than two decades as a general law practitioner, Assistant District Attorney, and longtime Public Defender. His experience working on all sides of the legal system provided a rare and comprehensive perspective that prepared him well for judicial service. In 2008, he was elected Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and in 2013 he became President Judge, a role in which he provided steady leadership and upheld the highest standards of the judiciary.
Beyond the courtroom, Judge Miller’s dedication to Clinton County is evident in his extensive civic involvement. He serves as the county’s appeals officer under the Right-to-Know Law, ensuring transparency and accountability in local government. He also chairs the Clinton County Criminal Justice Advisory Board, working collaboratively with local leaders and service agencies to strengthen public safety and support families in need. Judge Miller was instrumental in the creation of the Juvenile Court Restitution Fund, an initiative that directs resources toward restitution for victims while providing young people with opportunities for meaningful community service.
Deeply committed to preserving the heritage of the region that shaped him, Judge Miller is an active member of the Greater Renovo Area Heritage Park and serves on its railroad committee, helping to safeguard the unique history of his hometown. At the state level, he serves on the Pennsylvania Conference of State Trial Judges through its dependency committee, providing guidance and training to courts that work with children and families across the Commonwealth.

Thomas Bossert
B.E.N., Class of 1958
The Keystone Central Foundation is proud to announce the induction of Thomas H. Bossert into the 2026 Keystone Central Foundation’s Alumni Hall of Fame, recognizing a lifetime of achievement, leadership, and service to education, athletics, and the community.
A 1958 graduate of Bald Eagle Nittany High School, Bossert distinguished himself early as both a wrestling and football letterman. His athletic success continued at Lock Haven State Teachers College, where he graduated in 1964 and earned national recognition by placing third in the heavyweight division at the 1962 NAIA Wrestling National Championships.
Following his collegiate career, Bossert devoted more than two decades to education and coaching. He began teaching physical education and coaching at Sunbury High School in 1964, followed by a similar role at Bellefonte High School in 1965. From 1966 through 1986, he served as a health and physical education teacher at Lock Haven High School, where he positively influenced generations of students through his commitment to fitness, discipline, and character development.
In addition to his work in education, Bossert has been a steadfast public servant for more than six decades. His civic leadership began with his election to the Mill Hall Borough Council in 1965 and again in 1971. He was elected Mayor of Mill Hall in 1985, later serving as Magisterial District Judge beginning in 1987, a position to which he was re-elected for multiple six-year terms. In 2004, he was elected Clinton County Commissioner and re-elected to serve additional four-year terms.
Bossert returned to the role of Mill Hall Mayor in 2013, where he served multiple terms before retiring on December 31, 2025. Throughout his public life, he also remained deeply involved in civic and community organizations, including long-standing service with the Clinton County Republican Committee—where he held various leadership roles, including Chairman—the Mill Hall Kiwanis, and Bald Eagle United Presbyterian Church, where he serves as an elder. He is currently chairing efforts to refurbish the Mill Hall Community Pool, continuing his commitment to community improvement.
Beyond his formal titles and accomplishments, Thomas H. Bossert’s greatest legacy lies in his quiet, consistent service. He never sought recognition, instead choosing to lead by example—showing up, listening carefully, and working behind the scenes to do what was best for his community. Known for his fairness, approachability, and respect for people of all backgrounds and viewpoints, Bossert has long believed in giving back to the place that shaped him and in leaving it better than he found it.
Guided by his personal philosophy that “those who can, must,” Bossert has demonstrated through a lifetime of action that meaningful leadership is rooted in service, integrity, and commitment. His influence extends beyond public office to his family, church, and community, where he has led his children and grandchildren not only with words, but through example.
