|
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Bryan Luizzi on Tuesday announced that the principal of a regional middle/high school in Litchfield will start July 1 as the new principal of New Canaan High School. William Egan in the past has served as assistant principal at Brookfield High School and as dean of students at Norwalk High School, according to a press release issued by the district. Egan “demonstrated the attributes the New Canaan High School community sought,” Luizzi said in the press release. Those include “his outstanding leadership abilities as an innovative and intuitive leader of staff and students; dedication to the concept and practice of positive school culture and core values; understanding of the value parents as partners bring to the educational experience; expertise as an instructional leader with a deep understanding of current standards and assessment processes; experience with the implementation of technology into curriculum as a tool and resource.”
Luizzi—himself a former Brookfield High School principal, prior to NCHS—said the search took in information from teachers, parents, Board of Ed members, administrators, faculty, staff, students and members of the community. “Mr. Egan emerged as the outstanding choice to lead New Canaan High School” following three rounds of candidate interviews, the superintendent said.
