Darius Gilliam (paraprofessional)
Darius Gilliam is a proud member of the security staff, serving as head of athletic security, where he manages the hallways and (less favorably) the school parking lot. When asked what made him choose this job, Darius explained, “I chose this job because I want to make a difference in the school community. A lot of change has happened since I went to SBHS, and I want to ensure that all students have the same experience at South Brunswick as I was fortunate enough to have.”
Darius enjoys working with students and helping create a positive atmosphere throughout the school. Looking toward the future, he says his dream job would be to become a school counselor. “I would definitely love to be a school counselor and learn to understand students better and assist them in whatever they need,” he shared.

Mr. James Cafiero (Teacher, Technology Education)
Mr Cafiero is a first-year teacher who teaches engineering and video production here at South Brunswick High School. He advises Viking Television Network (VTN) and enjoys the process of teaching students and seeing “what they learn in class.” When it comes to VTN, he claims the most stressful part is writing the script, and creating a production itself becomes stressful, especially doing it for the first year. Another stressful part of his job is technology, as many things can go wrong. He has considered maybe coaching soccer, as he played pretty much his whole life.
