About

Started in 1964, Delaware Valley Regional High School’s newspaper, The Delphi, has been covering the news for the Del Val community for over 5 decades.  The paper’s name was selected in 1968 as part of contest in which the student body voted on the best submission. Since its formation, The Delphi has cycled through multiple advisors and plenty of staff members, all of whom have held the same goal: to report the news to the Del Val community. The Delphi has published news articles, opinion columns, horoscopes, polls, short stories and more over the course of its history, and it hopes to rekindle this long-held tradition of spreading the news and culture to its readers.

Since its redesign, The Delphi has expanded rapidly.  As of 2018, The Delphi began hosting its first podcast, Dark History, produced by Sarah Nerwinski, and has continued to produce podcasts such as Behind The Backline hosted by Veronica Hart as well as The Oracle hosted by various Delphi staff members.

Since first experimenting at the end of 2018, and 2019, The Delphi has grown its social media presence across multiple platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. The staff has continued to regularly publish content through its many outlets, posting its Twitter content on televisions throughout the school and to Del Val’s television channel on Service Electric Cable Television.

During the 2021-22 school year The Delphi continued its expansion by developing its Junior Journalism Program, reaching out to all of Del Val’s sending districts to work alongside our community and involve the middle school youth as a part of our staff. This gives these students the opportunity to cover events at their schools and see them published on this site. It is with joy that we recognize the endless hard work of The Delphi staff that has led to the completion of our long term goal, receiving the international SNO Distinguished Site award in May of 2022. It is our goal to continue to accomplish the honor of obtaining the title as one of SNO’s Distinguished Sites. 

Since 2019, The Delphi has aimed to expand the paper into a full-fledged news show. For the 2022-23 school year, the staff have been lucky enough to acquire the equipment through the generosity of sponsors and the school’s technology department. Though it’s just beginning, it is only a matter of time until the newspaper expands into the world of broadcast journalism.

The Delphi is looking to expand its horizons to include articles from contributing writers, comic strips and other forms of publications in order to honor the rich history of its past.  The Delphi has extended into a club in order to achieve this goal.
