Mr. Casserly is one of the newest staff members at Delaware Valley Regional High School, having joined the staff in the Special Education department; however, Mr. Casserly is not only a teacher at Del Val; he is also a Renaissance man.

Mr. Casserly’s love for teaching comes from his love for bettering every student’s time at Del Val. “I like to work with students and have an open dialogue with them so my students are not embarrassed and so we can have a working relationship,” Mr. Casserly said. This charisma helps to ensure that his students have the confidence to ask for help when they need it, which will make his students’ time at Del Val that much easier. Mr. Casserly feels that students who are able to work as team players will better their futures. Mr. Casserly believes that to be successful, “students have to have the right mindset and to stick with what they are learning, whether it is playing the bass guitar or being a good student, having a good mindset and to stick with what you are doing will get you far in life.”

Mr. Casserly has proven that he has many other talents besides teaching, including being a bass player in a band. He became a bass player because of his admiration of his older cousin, who was a guitar wizard. He said that he has gotten this far in his musical career because of his dedication when he was young; he went to lessons to improve his skills and became friends with people who had similar interests in music, and for these reasons, Mr. Casserly has prospered in his music career.
