Athletics

The DePaul Spartans [4] competes in the Big North Conference, which consists of public and private high schools in Bergen and Passaic counties, and was established following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association. [10] Before the NJSIAA's 2010 realignment, the school had competed in the Northern Hills Conference an athletic conference consisting of public and private high schools located in Essex, Morris and Passaic counties. [11] With 381 students in grades 10-12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2019–20 school year as Non-Public A for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 381 to 1,454 students in that grade range (and the equivalent of Group I for public schools). [12] The football team competes in the United White division of the North Jersey Super Football Conference, which includes 112 schools competing in 20 divisions, making it the nation's biggest football-only high school sports league. [13] [14] The school was classified by the NJSIAA as Non-Public Group B (equivalent to Group I for public schools) for football for 2022–2024, which included schools with 64 to 223 students. [15]

[18] The 1975 team finished the season with a 9-2 record by winning the Parochial A North sectional title after a 7-7 tie in regulation with Bergen Catholic High School was settled in overtime under a system in which each team ran four plays and the winner was the team that gained the most yardage; DePaul was declared the winner based on a margin of 16 yards gained. [19] [20] The 1992 team won the Parochial B North title with a 28-21 win against six-time defending champion Pope John XXIII Regional High School, which came into the playoff finals unbeaten in its previous 24 games. [21] The 2013 team finished the season with a record of 10-2 after winning the Non-Public Group II state title with a 35-16 victory against a Holy Spirit High School team that came undefeated into the championship game played at Rutgers University. [22] In 2017, facing a third-seeded Saint Joseph Regional High School team that had won the previous 13 games between the two teams, top-seeded DePaul won the Non-Public Group III state sectional championship by a score of 7–3 in the tournament title game played at Kean University's Alumni Stadium. [23] [24] The team won the Non-Public Group III in 2019, the program's fifth title in a seven-year span, with a 27-25 win in the finals against Mater Dei High School. [25]

The boys' cross country team won the Non Public B state championship in 1966. [26]
