From February 27 - March 10, Divine Savior Holy Angels High School seniors embarked on Vocare, a two-week service immersion experience. Vocare is the capstone of each student's four years of service. Each senior services two full weeks in the greater Milwaukee community working with the elderly, children, those with special needs, or at community outreach programs. Below, some of them share what they learned during their experience.

Lizzie Dondlinger, DSHA ’22, embodies this part of the DSHA mission:

Divine Savior Holy Angels High School is a Catholic, college-preparatory high school for young women that excels at developing the whole person.

Throughout her time at DSHA, Dondlinger strove to develop in her academic, spiritual, and co-curricular pursuits. By her senior year, she was a DSHA Campus Ministry Officer, one of the leads in DSHA's fall musical Freaky Friday, and the DSHA Class of 2022 Salutatorian. Perhaps her biggest accomplishment was her ability to weave faith, heart, and intellect together to discover a passion and calling for her future.
