Sixth Formers are the leaders of the school. They lead the sports, they run the clubs, and they set an example. The Class of 2025 hopes to step into these shoes effectively next year.
One of the main student leadership bodies at Haverford is Signet Society.
“Signet is meant to be the gentlemen that represent the school,” said Sixth Form Dean and Spanish teacher Ms. Brooke Kenna. “They embody the values and characteristics of the school.”
The Signet Society members for the 2024-2025 school year were recently announced at the Rosette Ceremony in early May. They hope to live up to the standards that past Sixth Forms set.
“In general, we want to be leaders that the rest of the school look up to,” said Fifth Form Signet member Phineas Manogue.
Signet also hopes to get the Class of 2028 prepared for next year. “We want to get the new freshman acclimated to high school life,” Manogue said. “This includes the Camp Saginaw trip.”
The Camp Saginaw trip is a two-day excursion to Chester County. All Third Formers attend, and members of Signet are responsible for running the trip.
“We’re looking for guys who can lead the younger students,” Ms. Kenna said. “We want to create a strong bond between the older and younger students.”
“I’d like to see the seniors do more than just lead by example. One of my favorite parts about Haverford is the integration of [other forms] to make a broader community.”

Looking at the Sixth Form holistically, they want to accomplish many things as leaders.
“I’d like to see the seniors do more than just lead by example,” Manogue said. “One of my favorite parts about Haverford is the integration of [other forms] to make a broader community.”
Every past Sixth Form has stepped up to the plate as leaders in different ways, and the Class of 2025 has a clear plan.
“We’ve had some really great leaders in the past,” Ms. Kenna said. “However, there’s always more work to be done. I’m excited to see what the new Sixth Form has in store for us.”
