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.

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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
