‘He Was Our Number One Defender’: NCHS Alum Raises Funds in Memory of Coach Art Brown

A New Canaan High School alum has successfully raised more than $8,000 and counting to help commemorate one of the Rams great athletic coaches. That coach is the late Art Brown, a seasoned instructor who provided invaluable mentorship and support to NCHS’s athletic community. Throughout his 15-year tenure as coach for NCHS’s track and cross country teams, he inspired hundreds to be the best they could be, going out of his way to ensure that all students had the individual support they needed. The fundraiser, started by NCHS ‘23 grad Jackie Siegel, aims to place two benches commemorating coach Brown in Waveny Park. Any excess funds raised will be donated to the scholarship fund started in his name.
