This winter athletics season, Dasher athletes brought an exciting and successful sports season to DSHA! With a regional win, a state runner-up trophy, and several outstanding performances from individual athletes, DSHA experienced another accomplished sports season.

This scholarship was founded in 1994 by Beatrice Menne Haggerty, HA ’31, and her husband Patrick, who was one of the original founders of Texas Instruments. They held a deep passion for science and math education. This scholarship is given to one junior and one senior each year who have been nominated by the DSHA mathematics and science department faculty. The awarded students will have demonstrated outstanding achievement in math and science, displayed leadership skills, and been involved in co-curricular and community service activities.

Dr. Pienkos served as DSHA’s Chief Administrator for 21 years. She had a special interest in history and chose to devote her scholarship to a student with outstanding achievement and demonstrated interest in social studies. Established in 1998, the scholarship is given annually to a student for use during her senior year, and the awardee is chosen by the DSHA Social Studies Department faculty.

This fall was a banner year for Dasher athletics with each sport represented at its respective state competition—a first for a fall athletics season at DSHA according to long-time and nationally recognized Athletic Director Peggy Seegers-Braun. Additionally, each sport had multiple Dashers recognized at the conference level for success in the classroom.
