New Principal in New Canaan Sports School Colors

If his choice in ties means anything, Bryan Luizzi will do just fine with New Canaan residents.

Several people who met with Luizzi, the incoming principal at New Canaan High School, took notice of his neckwear: a red tie dominated by interlocking N’s and C’s and the familiar ram’s head logo used by New Canaan High School sports teams.

“It’s been wonderful,” said Luizzi, who met with residents Monday in an informal meet-and-greet before the Board of Education meeting. “There’s a whole sense of family here. They’re very proud, and it’s very strong.”

Luizzi met with people to familiarize himself with the school and the community that he will join July 1, when he takes over for the outgoing principal, Tony Pavia. “I love what New Canaan is about,” Luizzi said. “It’s a very successful high school, and I’m finding out what they’re doing that's made them so successful.”

Luizzi said it’s been interesting to meet with people before taking over at New Canaan High. Several members of the New Canaan Town Council, including Tucker Murphy, John Emert and Christine Hussey, made a point of stopping in and shaking Luizzi’s hand before Monday’s special Town Council session.

Luizzi said it’s been strange to be in New Canaan while closing out his career at Brookfield High School, where he has served as principal for five years. “It feels like I have a foot in both worlds,” he said.
