Energy is building on campus as Delbarton embarks on its 86th year delivering Benedictine Catholic education to young men…and we are ready!

First step: On August 20-21, we met incoming faculty and staff members who enjoyed a two-day Orientation program hosted by Assistant Headmaster for Faculty Affairs Josh Hartle.

On August 23, new students and their families enjoyed the New Family Mass and Picnic on campus where they had an opportunity to socialize and check out new items at the Delbarton Shop.

Next up, on August 26, we welcomed 34 seventh graders, 147 9th graders, and 13 transfer students.

Meet this year’s Lifer class as they begin their Delbarton journey.

Of course, campus is never truly quiet at the school that never sleeps, and Summer 2026 was no exception. While students and faculty were away, work continued across campus as Phase II of the Science Pavilion renovation was completed and the new Career Center officially opened in July.

The transformed Science Pavilion offers state-of-the-art spaces designed to inspire curiosity, collaboration and hands-on discovery, while the Career Center connects students with Delbarton alumni, career exploration opportunities and real-world experiences that will help prepare them for life beyond the classroom.

Delbarton mobile app debuted on the App Store and Google Play to keep our community connected to news, events, a new parent portal, and more. This year we will also continue to use Vidigami, a content management platform where families can download and upload their favorite photos.

So…welcome back, Green Wave. We’ve missed you and can’t wait to see everyone back on campus as we launch another dynamic school year at Delbarton!
