Sayre Medallion

The Sayre Medallion is the highest honor that the school bestows. The Award was established in 1977 and consists of a silver 1854 half-dollar encircled by a ring of gold. The story, perhaps apocryphal, is that David A. Sayre arrived in Lexington in 1811 from his boyhood home in New Jersey with only a half-dollar in his pocket. When the award was established, its designer, George Headley, selected the coin to signify the year in which the school was founded. The Award is not given annually.
