DSHA Varsity Tennis Has a Silver Linings Season
BY MADELINE ZUKOWSKI, DSHA '11Read MoreThe DSHA Varsity Tennis team experienced the challenges of COVID-19 this fall, yet they searched for silver linings, choose a positive outlook, and learned one day at a time along the way. With new talent and a second-place finish at the team WIAA State Championship, the unique season brought them together and taught them many lessons that will accompany them in their bright future ahead. After their performance at the state tournament, the WIAA awarded them the Team Sportsmanship Award. They are the first team in school history to receive the award. -

Bigger than Basketball
BY MOLLY SHEARead MoreThis story was published in the 2019-2020 Annual Report.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From day one of practice, the DSHA Varsity Basketball team had the goal of winning the WIAA State Championship in the 2019–2020 season. After advancing to the fifth state tournament in school history, and first since 2015, the team’s season came to an abrupt end on March 12 — the day before their scheduled first game of the tournament — due to evolving concerns surrounding COVID-19. With a state title for the season no longer possible, the team’s coaching staff and senior captain leadership offered perspective and guidance on a disappointing end to a season that was absolutely worth celebrating — like family. -

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the 5th, 15th, and 25th day of every month, the Campus Ministry Collections Team, made up of 10 sophomores, juniors, and seniors at DSHA, led and organized an effort to gather canned goods from the entire student body. The items were then donated to the Mother of Good Counsel food pantry. The leaders of the collections team have one goal: bringing thousands of small acts (in total more than 6,000 donated canned goods) into one cohesive, difference-making venture. -

Using Advocacy to Close the Gender Gap
BY MADELINE ZUKOWSKI, DSHA '11Read MoreThis story was published in the 2019-2020 Annual Report.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hilltopper Robotics Team 1732, comprised of girls from DSHA and boys from Marquette University High School (MUHS), created and built a robot that qualified for the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition World Championship this year. Even though the championship was cancelled due to COVID-19, the Dashers on the team learned beyond what a competition could teach them—practicing self-advocacy as they led, gained confidence, and worked together.
