Varsity Rugby A-Side Team Brings Home 10th National Title
Spring Semester 2023 of The Word MagazineRead MoreThe DSHA Varsity Rugby team added another exciting and successful season to the DSHA Rugby program’s impressive resume.
They began the spring season the weekend of April 29-30. Over the course of the weekend, they beat Penn High School 46-0, St. Joseph Academy 41-0, and Sparta Rock Academy 31-29 to bring home the Midwest Championship Title.
They moved on to compete in the Single School National Tournament in Cottage Grove, WI from May 20-21 where they proved, once again, they were a force to be reckoned with. On May 20, they took on Grandville High School from Michigan in the quarter finals and won 27-5. Later that day, they competed against Catholic Memorial in the semi-finals and won 57-7. On May 21, the Dashers defeated Rocky Mountain of Idaho 32-10 to bring home the Single School National Invitational Championship, the 10th for the program.
Varsity Head Coach John “Chin” Klein spoke with Fox6News Milwaukee about the continued success of the team. He stated, "You come here with an expectation to be great, and every year, I tell them that I want them to be the best team that there ever has been. Not the best in the country, the best there ever has been, and unless you say it, you can't be it." -
Committing to be Present to the Spirit
Spring Semester 2023 of The Word Magazine | by Erin McCarvilleRead MoreThe Present to the Spirit retreat is held each year in January and serves as an optional experience for members of the junior class to further develop their relationship with God. An overnight, two-day experience, the retreat was held at the Redemptorist Retreat Center in Summit, WI from Monday, January 16–Tuesday, January 17. The retreat is intentionally held at a time when the year can start to feel overwhelming for junior Dashers as academics become more rigorous with thoughts of college applications on the horizon.
The retreat concentrates on the biblical story of Mary and Martha. When the two sisters opened their home for Jesus, Martha hurries around the room to ensure preparations are ready. Her sister Mary, however, simply sits at the feet of Jesus and listens. Comparable to the busy experience of junior year, the girls examine their faith through this perspective. The scriptural theme is from Luke 10:41-42: The Lord answered, “You are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one.” The passage helps students determine the extent to which they are open to God’s daily presence in their lives. Throughout the retreat, the girls listen to witness talks from their peers, discuss faith with their small groups, and participate in individual prayer and reflection. -
Carla Olle Career Day | Keynote Speaker Kristin Branch, DSHA '92
Spring Semester 2023 of The Word Magazine | by Erin McCarvilleCarla Olle Career Day has been a stapled tradition for Dashers since its founding in 1995. On March 2, sophomores and juniors gathered in the Robert & Marie Hansen Family Fine Arts Theatre to listen to former Home Economics and Theology Faculty, Coordinator of Student Activities Club, Student Council, and College Advisor Carla La Valle Olle, HA ’60, speak about the importance of the day where young women set aside time to ask themselves questions about their passions and futures, and hear from role models who were once in their shoes. Following her remarks, students heard from keynote speaker Kristin Branch, DSHA ’92, who serves as Director of the Marketing Leadership Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Students then attended four DSHA alumna-led breakout sessions based on their career interests. To close the day, students gathered to hear from Rachel Fronk Idso, DSHA ’02, Senior Manager of Talent Acquisition at Amazon, who spoke about social media and professionalism. At the end of the day, Dashers had time to reflect with their peers in their respective homerooms. They were able to discuss their favorite sessions, what they learned, and dream with one another about their hopes for the future.Read More -
