activities & athletics

At DSHA, every leader is a girl. And what better setting than clubs and other extra-curricular activities for young women to develop and hone their leadership and social skills? Participating in athletics at DSHA enhances our young women’s development beyond the classroom, offering them the opportunity to cultivate their God-given gifts in a variety of ways. The values of teamwork, discipline and character are as integral a part of each sport as skill and victory when the Dashers take the playing field for the sake of their teams, their school and themselves. 

"I still cherish the friendships that I formed while attending DSHA almost 13 years ago. The JV basketball girls were indeed a team. They had a winning season, only losing once and becoming conference champs, but more impressively they truly supported each other throughout the season. The girls learned to value each other for what they brought to the team and accepted one another for who they are as individuals." Shannon Sheeley DSHA'94
