Dear New Canaan High School Family,
I hope that you are enjoying the start of summer vacation. The summer is an important time to refocus, gather your thoughts, and rejuvenate your mind for the upcoming school year. My name is Bill Egan and I am the proud new principal of New Canaan High School.
After graduation and before starting at New Canaan, my wife, a language arts teacher at Newtown Middle School and my nine year old daughter, Ella, and I went to Amelia Island, Florida. It is beautiful and I feel like there is nothing like the ocean air to renew focus and spirit. Later in July, we will be making our annual journey to Cape May, NJ. Cape May is our favorite place on Earth and we try to go every year.
Some of you are already aware of this, but I wanted the entire community to know about my background. I have over 20 years of educational experience spanning grades 6-12. My teaching experience is a blend of work in both suburban and urban communities and I bring a vast amount of administrative experience. For the past six years I have had the honor of leading a 7-12 grade high school. During my tenure at Wamogo Regional High School, the school accomplished an array of honors, and these awards are a testament to the power of working together to achieve great accomplishments.
At NCHS I intend to continue the legacy of success established by building strong relationships with parents, students, staff, and community partners. Together we will continue to support a thriving academic program and build on the amazing athletic, VPA, and co-curricular programs at the school. For a school to be successful, students need to be happy. My hope is that every student loves New Canaan High School and looks forward to coming to school each and every day.
I am certain that New Canaan High School will continue to be one of the finest high schools in the state and country. I look forward to working with a school community that places a high value on education. We will continue to develop well-rounded students who are compassionate and committed to a global society. Our students will be equipped to become the future leaders of our nation. I am committed to leading this fine institution into the future.
I look forward to learning together, working together and growing together.
Wishing you a happy, restful and enjoyable summer,
Bill Egan
New Canaan High School Principal
