Avon Old Farms School recognizes notable alumni through four prestigious awards: Distinguished Alumnus Award, the Athletic Hall of Fame, the Mendell Medal, and the Alumni Order of Old Farms.
Distinguished Alumnus Award
Distinguished Alumni
The Distinguished Alumnus Award recognizes a deserving alumnus who has achieved distinction in his professional career, humanitarian endeavors, or other areas of his life.
This award honors an individual who has embraced the core values emphasized at Avon Old Farms. By celebrating the accomplishments of the recipient, Avon Old Farms nourishes the strong sense of pride within our school community and acknowledges the inherent value in recognizing excellence among our alumni.
Athletic Hall of Fame
The mission of our Athletic Hall of Fame is to honor exceptional individuals and teams who have achieved greatness and made outstanding contributions to Avon's rich athletic tradition.
The Hall of Fame is a designated place for reflection, inspiration, and distinction located in the Brown Student Center.
Future nominations are always being sought and received by the selection committee. All individual or team nominees must have graduated at least 10 years prior to induction; however, coaches, trainers, or administrators can be nominated at any time.
Athletic Hall of Fame
Mendell Medal Recipients
The Mendell Medal was established by the Avon Old Farms Board of Directors in 1990 to recognize Alumni who have made significant and long-lasting contributions to Avon Old Farms School as a member of the Alumni body. The award honors Seth Mendell - Class of 1952 who served as Director of Alumni and Development from 1970 to 1990 and was instrumental in creating the strong alumni and development program that we now enjoy today.
Alumni Order of Old Farms
As stated in the Deed of Trust:
“The Alumni Order of Old Farms shall be awarded to those individuals who most generously serve the welfare of Avon Old Farms and who are governed in all their human relationships by a deep sense of honor.”
