As a Catholic, caring school community of DSHA parents, students, teachers and administrators, we are responsible for the total development of the individuals who make up this community. We believe that growth and development can best take place where people love and respect themselves and each other. Through our comprehensive guidance program, our goal is that all students will develop into confident and capable young women who are able to accept and appreciate the successes and failures of daily life.
Our Guidance Department personnel are individuals who care about our young women and their families and try to build strong relationships with them.
