Dr. Jason Breaker

Jason brings a wealth of experience to his role, having spent his entire life in the Pacific Northwest and his entire career in Portland Public Schools (PPS) since completing his school counseling internship at Grant High School in 2001-02.

He's worn many hats within PPS – school counselor, assistant principal, vice principal, and central office assistant director. This diverse background allows him to connect with students of all ages (K-12) and understand their unique needs. While he thrives working with all students, he finds particular fulfillment in supporting high schoolers on their path to adulthood.

Jason's passion for education extends beyond the classroom. With one child in high school and one child in college, and a wife teaching science at a Grant feeder school, he's deeply invested in the PPS community. Outside of work, he enjoys the active Pacific Northwest lifestyle – climbing, skiing, hiking, and exploring new places with his family.
