We are thrilled to have hired Career Tech NJ alumnus Jesse Delorenzo to teach culinary arts! After graduating from County Prep High School, Jesse attended the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, and went on to work in one of New York's top restaurants, Le Cirque. His desire to study various cuisines and then share that knowledge led him back to his alma mater. We are so lucky to learn from someone with experience and passion coupled with endless curiosity! #TeachCTE
