The Legend and Lore of Mr. Tim Grandy
Read MoreHow do you capture the story of a legend? Facts, quotes, and anecdotes are simply not enough. Any alumna who has sat in Mr. Tim Grandy’s iconic classroom — which tells the story better than pen and paper ever could — will certainly understand. The number of students he has inspired, papers he has graded, and college pennants he has hung are countless. But as we look at the legacy he has carved into the fabric of DSHA, one number tells the tale: 214. It is the classroom and sanctuary he curated to be his own — a space created for his students to thrive — for nearly four decades.
214 was more than a classroom: it was a beacon of light at 7:00 p.m. on a weeknight as he poured over papers listening to Bob Dylan. It was a solace for students seeking academic or personal help. And it was a constant source of joy and enthusiasm, of genius and influence. In short, it was home.
So, how do you capture the story of a legend? As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Take a peek into the remarkable space of room 214 as we celebrate his passion for teaching, the lives he has changed, and the 38-year legend of the one-and-only Mr. Tim Grandy. -

A Celebration of Transformation: The DSHA Retreat Journey
Read MoreIt is a story of transformation: a school building is no longer seen for its typical concrete floors, beige walls and brown lockers, but as a colorful, inspirational haven perfectly fit for a teenage girl. Individual hearts begin to move from a curiosity about faith, to a deep desire to love and know God boldly. And a community evolves, as a group of relative strangers form bonds that will develop into an authentic sisterhood over the next four years. -
