History

Into the early 1970s, students from Delran Township and Delanco Township attended Riverside High School as part of sending/receiving relationships with the Riverside School District. Efforts to merge the three districts into a combined regional K-12 system were rejected in a November 1971 referendum, leading the Delran district to pursue efforts to create its own high school. [5] The Delran sending relationship began in 1954. [6] Delran High School, constructed at a cost of $6 million (equivalent to $34 million in 2023), opened for the 1975-76 school year. [7]
