Dave Lawson
	
Dave Lawson was the principal at Wabisca, Alberta, and at Moose Factory, Ontario before he and his wife and two children came to the Yukon in 1962. Lawson came as the new principal of the Carcross Indian Residential School. There were 100 students at the school, down from 1961’s total of 165. The decline was due to more students attending school in their home communities including twenty-four in Whitehorse and thirty in Carmacks. The Carcross students in 1962 came from Dawson, Aishihik, Lower Post, and Pelly. More students came from Pelly than from any other community. The staff numbered twenty-six, five of them teachers, and seven were First Nation people from the community.((“Heads Carcross School.” //Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse), 17 September 1962.))
