Gregg Malfa

After Leaving the Princeton area and my first teaching and coaching experience, I set out to find a teaching job near the shore area and wound up choosing Shore Regional as my next career opportunity. I have had many experiences teaching and coaching at my previous school, Princeton High School, I found that Shore Regional was eerly similar not only in size of school, but the school was set in a small tight knit town with Princeton University in close proximity to the middle school and high school. Having moved to west long branch and having the high school near Monmouth University felt very similar. I have now been Teaching and coaching for the past 18 years and still have the same passion and drive that first drew my family and I to this area. Teaching in the Technology/Industrial Arts gives me an opportunity to show students a hands on different perspective allowing myself to teach students skills that are not only educational, but life skills that will hopefully serve the students well beyond the classroom. From a coaching aspect, I was able to help coach the girls lacrosse team, for my first eight years at shore, to two State titles and a National ranking of 22nd in the country and four All-Americans, before starting the first ever Boy's lacrosse program at shore the last ten years, where we have won a first ever Divisional Title in 2019 and have had two All-Americans and multiple All-Division and All-Shore players and being named coach of the year in 2019 during that time.
