Dear NCHS Family, I hope that everyone is doing their personal best on their exams and is happy with their academic success in the first semester.  The beginning of a new semester is a perfect time to establish some goals. Setting goals is an important skill that can help anyone be more successful in life. Studies show that teens who set goals are more likely to succeed academically and have a more positive attitude about school than those who do not set goals.  My hope is that everyone will have a positive high school experience. Just a reminder that The New Canaan High School Scholarship Foundation is celebrating its 50th Anniversary!  NCSF represents a broad-based community effort to provide financial aid to deserving NCHS graduates pursuing higher education at the undergraduate level. We are announcing new and exciting changes to the Foundation. We will continue to have General scholarships and, in addition, new named scholarships. These scholarships can be...

The NCHS Scholarship Foundation is celebrating its 50 th anniversary this year!  As you may have heard, changes have been made to this year’s annual fundraiser; students will no longer be going door to door asking for donations, but instead may participate this April in the NC Color Run which will benefit the NCSF.  In addition to this, all students will be asked to help support the Foundation by soliciting pledges from family and friends.  Stay tuned, more information will follow soon announcing our goal and the prizes you are eligible to win for your efforts!
