The Martin de Tours award, St. Martin’s highest alumni honor, is named for the patron saint of the school, Martin of Tours, who exemplified the aspect of service that we value so highly at St. Martin's Episcopal School.

St. Martin’s Episcopal School will present the fifteenth Martin de Tours Award to Anthony “Tony” Cabrales ’54, on Monday, November 24, 2008 at Upper School. Assembly in the Solomon Theater. Mr. Cabrales will also be honored at a private reception the evening prior to the award ceremony.
