Haven Marching Band (full band) & Haven Marching Band in the news

Our marching band is the largest high school marching band in the state of Pennsylvania and the second-largest in the nation. Over one-third of our student body participates and our music faculty is always eager for students new to instrumental music to join.

Our Community

Strath Haven High School serves the communities of Wallingford, Swarthmore, Rose Valley, and Rutledge. Our community of quiet tree-lined streets and open spaces is located just a short train ride away from the city of Philadelphia. Our Resident Director, Danyele Dove, arranges trips into the city to visit its greatest cultural treasures, including the Liberty Bell, Consitution Hall, and the home of Benjamin Franklin. Philadelphia is also home to world-class museums including the Penn Museum, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Franklin Institute.

You can see Sharples Dining Hall where Scholars can eat on the weekend (0:33), and catch a glimpse of the house (far-left of screen, 1:33-36.) Scholars also have full access to the College library and athletic facilities (fitness center/swimming pool)
