The pronoun in the sentence, 'him', is correct if the one the sentence refers to is a male. The pronoun 'him' is a singular, objective, personal pronoun which is functioning as the object of the preposition 'at'.

The preposition 'at' is not the best choice, a better choice is 'for' (were delighted for him).

Note: The Word 'both' can function as an indefinite pronoun when it takes the place of a noun. However, in this sentence, it functions as an adjective, describing the nouns 'teachers and students'.

Example use as a pronoun: The teachers and the students were both delighted...
