STEM Academy Class of 2025 Senior Mantle Design Winner Announced

2025 Senior Mantle Design by Nolan Dobry

Quote: “Throw me to the wolves, and I'll return leading the pack.”

Congratulations to the winner of the 2025 Senior Mantle Design Contest, Nolan Dobry!  Nolan’s design was voted by the senior class as the winner out of 23 entries. The Senior Mantle is a Downingtown tradition, unbroken since it was established in 1908. The Mantle is a cloak of honor (graduation robe) worn during graduation.  Each year, the outgoing senior class president removes the robe and places it on the shoulders of the incoming senior class president, as a symbolic transfer of the honor and distinction of Downingtown High Schools to the next class. The three Downingtown Mantle robes are decorated with emblems representing the hopes and aspirations of each graduating class since 1908. To read more about this unique legacy, you can visit a website created by Sara Hallahan, DEHS Class of 2023.
