Freshmen Parent Orientation will begin at 6:30 pm and the first bell is at 7:15 pm.   Open House is co-sponsored by NCHS and the Parent Faculty Association (PFA).

Dear NCHS Family, We had a wonderful turnout from our parent community this week at two important events.  The Senior Parent Program had big crowd of parents who were invested in knowing about the all important senior year at New Canaan High School. The school counselors did a great job presenting and their presentation can be found here . In the event that you missed the presentation, click here to see the video . The general meeting of the PFA was well attended on Wednesday morning.  The membership of the PFA learned about all of the work that has been done to increase school culture over the last couple of years. This work makes everyone feel better about the school and community.  The town takes a great deal of pride in New Canaan High School and you can see all `the PFA has done to improve the school here.   I also gave my Back to School message which had a focus on the importance of positive psychology and the benefits to being happy.   You can view my presentation
