Introducing the New Marian Scholars Program
BY MADELINE ZUKOWSKI, DSHA '11Read MoreNew to the 2020-2021 school year, the Marian Scholars Program was created and implemented as an inclusive education program for young women with intellectual and developmental disabilities. While students in the program are aided through their academic and social challenges, they participate in all aspects of school; therefore, they are able to take advantage of everything a DSHA education offers. -
Monthly Giving Because of the DSHA Difference
BY MADELINE ZUKOWSKI, DSHA '11Current parent and alumna Katie Carney Dahm, DSHA ’90, is no stranger to giving back to DSHA — she has served on the DSHA Alumnae Board and planned the most recent reunion for her former DSHA classmates, among other roles. But she doesn’t just give back through her time; she also gives back financially, month by month. Her reason for doing so is simple — her life wouldn’t be the same without DSHA.Read More -
School-Spirited Fun with a Purpose
BY MADELINE ZUKOWSKI, DSHA '11DSHA has several aspects that set its high school experience apart from other schools: its all-girls environment; the special relationships between students, faculty, and staff; and its Catholic mission rooted in the goodness and kindness of Jesus Christ. But, there are other things that build the Dasher community that may not be as well known to our wider audience — aspects that are the essence of fun with the purpose of creating community. While COVID-19 and social distancing tested the tight-knit community at DSHA, Dashers maintained a sense of school spirit and unity thanks in part to the Empress Crown competition, a school-wide engagement opportunity which allowed students to stay connected while apart, and the DSHA Class of 2020 to shine even while missing some of the coveted end-of-high-school milestones.Read More -
DSHA Faith Formation New Faces in 2020-21 School Year
BY MADELINE ZUKOWSKI, DSHA '11Read MoreDSHA will undoubtedly learn to pivot as it navigates COVID-19 in a new school year, and faith formation is just one of many areas that will adjust its programming.A few fresh faces and a couple veterans will steer the ship of Campus Ministry as changes occur. Campus Ministry’s first change: a shift in leadership. -
DSHA Celebrates Black History Month with All-School Mass
Read MoreAt the forefront of DSHA’s mission is forming students in their whole person—in faith, heart, and intellect. To share in this Catholic Christian faith, all-school Masses offer a place for the entire student body to come together as one in community. -
Student Connection, Engagement, and Support During Online Learning | Part 1 of 2: State of the Students
BY MOLLY SHEARead MoreA DSHA education is more than facts, concepts, coursework, and a rigorous college-prep curriculum. It is about young women finding a place that affirms they are created in the image and likeness of God. It is about being known by teachers, counselors, pastoral staff, administration, and the sisterhood that is only possible in an all-girls environment. It is about finding passion and purpose in the company of a supportive, Catholic community. Over the course of the spring semester of 2020, DSHA learned that while better together, this unique education — at its true core — is still possible when required to be physically apart because of a dedicated faculty and staff, unwilling to settle in order to meet students in their evolving needs.
