In the two decades that retiring Science Faculty Scott Fleischmann has been a part of the DSHA community, he’s taught nearly every science course offered. While current students know him as an anatomy and physiology expert who shows up consistently at their games, plays, and concerts, they also know him as a patient and helpful teacher who loves to see his students succeed in his class and beyond. Fleischmann has valued helping his students become passionate about current and future science endeavors through numerous co-curriculars. And he has loved his time accompanying students on excursions that help them become well-rounded in their interests, whether that be the marine biology science trip in Hawaii, or the DSHA Drama Club trip in New York City. While looking forward to his retirement, the summary of his parting could be this: he will miss the science, but he will truly and deeply miss his work alongside of his students and colleagues.

Dear DSHA Community,

 

As a school community, we are deeply saddened by the recent events that have taken place in our country. As a Catholic and Salvatorian school, we know and stand for the importance of human life and the dignity of all people. As an educational institution we strive to help our students and staff understand issues of racism, social justice, and mercy. The combination of faith and education is intended to help us take action and do our part to improve the quality of life for all people.

 

DSHA denounces all forms of racism and brutality. We stand for loving our neighbors; for the human dignity of all; reaching out to those in need; and for eliminating systemic racism and other forms of injustice. Specifically, we pray for the repose of the souls of our brothers and sisters, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and Joel Acevedo, among others who fell victim to brutality of injustice. 

There’s nothing better than seeing all your hard work come to fruition and perform on the big stage. Six weeks of late nights, ardent planning, eating all the snacks in the snack cabinet, intense building, screaming your lungs out, wearing more glitter than you care to admit, sweating like you’ve run a marathon, dancing the Macarena with your friends, and pouring your heart and soul into the performance of a machine—that’s the culmination of robotics, and the most fun I’ve had in high school.

 

 

Strategic plans can be exciting to some and boring to others. At DSHA, the strategic plan ultimately drives our commitment to continuous improvement through focused direction, while holding us accountable to growth.

We all desire to find a purpose to our lives. For many, that purpose is making a difference––whether in the lives of others today, or a legacy left in the world at large.

 

DSHA is committed to developing future leaders of faith, heart, and intellect who learn to serve others today during their high school years, and then enter the real world equipped and motivated to make it a better place.

 

The generous donors of DSHA help Dashers find their purpose in many ways––through gifts to the auction, the DSHA Annual Fund, scholarship donations and more.

 

One of those “and more” options is estate planning; also called planned giving and known as the Cornerstone Society at DSHA. Everyone who believes in the transformational work that is happening every day at DSHA can participate in planned giving, regardless of age or income level. And we are so thankful for those who believe in the mission of DSHA enough to leave a planned legacy behind for future Dashers.

On Thursday, June 27, 2019, thirteen Dashers along with Theology Faculty Danny Pavlovich, Director of Salvatorian Service Stephanie Monson, and parent chaperone Tim Dunne, left Milwaukee for the Holy Land. The ten-day trip was a dream Pavlovich conceived nearly three years ago — all with the intent to provide his Theology students an experience that would “make the faith more real to them; for the Gospels to come alive,” he shares.

 

Pavlovich and Monson carved out time each day to pray with students and reflect on their shared journey. And they invite you to hear from some of the students whose lives have been changed as they walked in the steps of Christ — from the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River, and from Bethlehem to Jerusalem, this was not a trip, but a pilgrimage of real-life, experiential, and transformative faith.
