Alumni Recognition


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

  • Featured Alumnus: Steve Lewis '73

    Steve Lewis ’73 has dedicated most of his free time in the last several years to raising awareness of veteran-led causes, and he brought his advocacy to AOF this past Veterans Day.

  • Captain's Corner: Varsity Soccer

    This week, we sat down with Leo Miranda ’26, one of the captains of the varsity soccer team this year, to learn more about his role in their successful season. 

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.

Future nominations sought annually and reviewed 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.
