Recent ActivityI am Paul J. Berardelli, Principal of Delsea Regional High School. I have been in the field of Education for twenty years and all of them have been at Delsea Regional High School. I started my career by teaching Special Education classes for five years. While teaching, I was fortunate enough to be able to coach both football and track; these invaluable experiences are ones that I have never forgotten. In 1999, I was hired as Vice Principal, a position I held for twelve years, which led me to the position I currently hold.
I am humbled and honored to be serving Delsea Regional High School as its principal – a position I consider to be a privilege. My staff and I will continue to provide a comprehensive and thorough education in a climate that is conducive to the academic success of all of our students.
Here at Delsea, we have the highest expectations for perpetual student growth. The Delsea Regional High School students’ academic, social, and emotional well-being are at the forefront of every decision we make.
We have so much to be proud of as a staff, a Delsea family, and a community. GO BIG RED!
