Read MoreLauren Dedinsky Maddox, DSHA ’82, currently serves as the Senior Policy Advisor at Holland & Knight LLP in Washington, D.C. The firm focuses on public policy, government relations, contracts, municipal law, real estate, finance, and environmental law. Professionally and personally, she exhibits a strong awareness for human concerns and demonstrates leadership in her community and career field.In 2012, Maddox returned to DSHA to accept the honor of being named the DSHA Alumna of the Year, a distinction given to alumnae whose daily life reflects the Christian values and ideals nurtured at DSHA, while also acting as an inspiration for other women. Prior to arriving, she asked permission to spend the day on campus. She sat in on classes, talked with students, and brainstormed the next edition of The Word Magazine. She was so taken with her experience, that by the time she landed back home in Washington, D.C., she knew she wanted to create a scholarship for DSHA students. The Mary Mross Public Policy Scholarship was created just days after her visit.Currently, the scholarship is awarded to a rising junior or senior who best articulates her position on a designated public policy issue facing her generation. The essays are reviewed blindly by a committee of alumnae and selected on their merit. -

Students Reflect on French Exchange and Trip
Read MoreAfter a three-year pause due to COVID-19, the DSHA French trip took place from Thursday, March 30 - Saturday, April 15. Thirty-one DSHA students immersed themselves in French culture, led by World Languages Faculty Eileen Gleeson.
Throughout the two weeks, students stayed with host families while attending Lycée St. Jean, a Catholic school in Limoges. While there, Dashers also traveled to various historical sites including le Château de Chambord, le Château de Hautefort, le Château de Versaille, as well as several museums that featured French art and sculptures.
This trip is part of the 30+ year-old exchange program organized by Gleeson. In October, 30 students from Lycée St. Jean stayed with host families from DSHA and attended classes at DSHA and Marquette University High School. This trip for Dashers during speak break completes the second part of the exchange.
While in France, students kept journals. Below are excerpts from their final journal entries. -
