[40] Paulsboro had won 25 consecutive state championships in Group I until 2008 when they lost early in the state tournament.

The 63 consecutive wins is still the state record, surpassing the next closest streak in South Jersey by 20 games, and besting the previous state record holder by nine. [42] [43] [44]

Controversy

Principal Lucia Pollino was suspended after an incident in which three students were allegedly strip searched while on a senior trip to Walt Disney World in April 2007. A lawsuit has been filed by an attorney representing one of the students asking for $250,000 in damages related to the incident. [45] Superintendent of Schools Frank Scambia said that Pollino would be reassigned to become director of assessments, a position for which she would be compensated with the same salary she had received as principal. The district reached a settlement with Pollino after she sued the district, charging that she had been the victim of gender discrimination and that she had never approved the strip search. [46]

The current principal, Paul Morina, also served as the CEO of Hometown International, a publicly listed company with a market cap of $113M despite owning one deli. Morina, according to SEC filings, held 1.5 million shares of Hometown common shares, which on paper had been worth more than $20 million, given the current share price. Morina was also involved in Mantua Creek Group, which owns the building that Your Hometown Deli operates in. Christine Lindenmuth, who is a math teacher and administrator at Paulsboro High School, was also an executive at Hometown International. [47] Morina wasn't charged in either suit, and the Justice Department complaint alleges that he was taken in by Patten, according to the federal criminal indictment. [48]

A special premiere of the 2004 Kevin Smith film Jersey Girl was held at the school, which had been the location of several scenes in the film. A street leading out of the school was named Kevin Smith Way. [49]

Administration

The school's principal is Matthew Browne. His core administration team includes two assistant principals and the athletic director. [50]
