Dr. Jonathan Cote and Dan Szelingowski were named CoInternal Coordinators of Delbarton’s upcoming Middle States re-accreditation. In preparation, Cote did a site visit and Szelingowski served on his 4th visiting team from May 2-4 at Caravel Academy in Delaware. In addition, both men participated in a professional development workshop on April 12 on Organizing a Self-Study.

Accepted Students Reception On January 31, Headmaster Fr. Michael Tidd and Dean of Admissions Dr. David Donovan greeted Class of 2026 and Class of 2028 students and their families at the 2022 Delbarton Accepted Family Reception. Senior Council members and the Green Wave mascot welcomed boys at the door. Accepted students enjoyed dining from three food trucks, with a make-your-own-sundae chaser in the FAC lobby, while parents mingled in St. Benedict Hall. All in all, the event served to break the ice on a frosty January afternoon.
