New Superintendent Named In Ocean City

OCEAN CITY, NJ — The search is over, and the Ocean City School District has appointed its new superintendent.

Christian Angelillo, who has more than 25 years of experience in the education field, will serve as the new superintendent, the district announced Friday morning.

Angelillo's career has spanned working as a social studies teacher, assistant principal, principal at both elementary and high school levels and superintendent in New Jersey. His latest roles are being superintendent and principal at Boonton Township School District, and an adjunct professor at Centenary University in Hackettstown.

And he has experience outside of the classroom too. Angelillo has also worked as a head varsity track and field coach, head freshman football coach and a varsity football coach. He said he looks forward to working with the OCSD to continue the success of students and staff and build strong relationships with the school community and broader community.

“I look forward to becoming a part of the fabric of the Ocean City community and forging lasting relationships that will help remind us to celebrate our past accomplishments, while working together to achieve future successes that will make us all proud,” said Angelillo.

Angelillo is involved with multiple professional affiliations such as the New Jersey Association of School Administrators and the New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Association. He earned an Ed.D. in K-12 Administration from Seton Hall University, a Master of Arts in Educational Administration and Supervision from Montclair State University and a Bachelor of Arts in History and a minor in Philosophy from Fordham University.

“The Superintendent search generated over fifty applicants. With this large pool of interested educators, the Board had the opportunity to review and eventually interview several finalists for the position,” said Terrence Crowley, OCSD’s interim superintendent. “Dr. Angelillo presented himself as an experienced and qualified individual who would contribute to and lead the Ocean City School District as it provides an outstanding education for our students. He will bring to the district a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm.”

When not at work, Angelillo is an avid reader and fisherman who enjoys spending time with his family. He is a college football enthusiast and a devoted New Jersey Devils fan.
