TOM LOUGHLIN has represented Frenchtown on the Delaware Valley Regional High School (Del Val) Board of Education (BOE) since January 2024. Located on Senator Stout Rd. in Frenchtown, Del Val serves Alexandria, Frenchtown, Holland, Kingwood and Milford. The nine-member, publicly elected BOE oversees the school’s budget, curriculum, policies and personnel decisions. Current challenges facing Del Val include an ever-challenging budget, artificial intelligence, cell phone use and declining enrollment. The BOE is focused on maintaining academic and holistic student excellence while keeping strict oversight of the budget.

Tom is the only candidate who filed a petition with the Hunterdon County Clerk for the single Frenchtown seat in the November 3 election for the three-year term that starts in January 2027. As the Frenchtown representative, Tom represents the community’s interest while fulfilling the duties associated with the BOE.

Tom has lived in Frenchtown since 2021 with his wife Brooke. Having retired from a career in non-profit management, his expertise in high-performance governance translates well to his leadership role within the BOE. Tom and Brooke moved from Summit, NJ, where he served on the Summit Education Foundation and raised two daughters.
