STORY OF THE TITLE
Pendragon is a traditional Welsh title meaning “ chief dragon .” The name is associated with several historical kings , including Uther Pendragon , the father of King Arthur . The title carried great weight in the Middle Ages and still conveys leadership and achievement today . PenDragon is a portmanteau of the words “ pen ” and “ dragon .” The pen symbolises writing , literature and knowledge and the dragon symbolises the spirit of LCIS through its mascot . May the PenDragon long herald the spirit and ideals of Lyford Cay International School and its students .
