one body We are

These are the words our students have memorized and passionately sing at all-school Masses. The words perfectly describe DSHA β€” a community bonded in love, committed to forming young women of faith, heart, and intellect. This is a strong community β€” both when we are gathered together or physically apart due to COVID-19. Our students truly live within a sisterhood. They encourage one another to become believers, self-advocates, critical thinkers, communicators, and leaders. They celebrate and share in each other’s accomplishments along the way.

We are proud to call you a member of our community that supports this sisterhood. With your help, our students know they do not stand alone. They are loved by a vast community which gives them the confidence and capability to change our world for the better. Thank you for being a part of and generously supporting the DSHA family β€” a family that lives, learns, and grows with one another. We hope you enjoy the stories that celebrate the DSHA community within these pages β€” a community and sisterhood that would not be possible for Dashers without you. Thank you.

DSHA Letter from the Board Chair

Achievements & Admiration Amidst Challenges Dear DSHA Community, When I was asked to accept the position of Chair of the DSHA Board of Directors beginning last school year, I could not say no. I had seen first-hand how my daughters (Beth, DSHA ’16, and Anna, DSHA ’20) had grown and benefited from an all-girls, Catholic education. Their confidence, self-esteem, self-advocacy, and faith life expanded exponentially. They flourished in the DSHA environment, and it was easy to see why, after having a birds-eye view as a board member for the last three years. I wanted to help other young women in Milwaukee grow as my own daughters have. While saying β€œyes” to the position was easy, this past school year was a challenge β€” a challenge that was felt by every member of our community in different ways. At the height of the impact of COVID -19 in mid-March, the DSHA administration, staff, and teachers had to quickly pivot to virtual instruction and learning. Our students, especially our seniors, endured a long list of cancellations β€” from spring sports seasons and fine art performances, to the Graduate Dinner Dance and the celebration that comes along with National College Decision Day. Despite these disappointments, I am proud of our faculty and staff as they excelled in instructing and supporting their students in a new setting. I am proud of our students’ resiliency and proactive mentality as they became self-advocates for their own education. And I am so grateful for the parents and families who supported us and were patient with us as we navigated an unknown environment. Before the national health emergency, DSHA had developed a new five-year strategic plan β€” a plan where the goal is to financially sustain our mission as an institution while continuing to develop our students into capable young women of faith, heart, and intellect. Some highlights from the plan include: B B B B

Addressing the diversity and equity of our students. Bolstering the endowment and increasing financial aid resources. Implementing a new Applied Wellness program. Developing a master facility plan.

While some of our action steps were put on hold due to COVID -19, we made progress on a number of these initiatives, including: B P lanning and approving the Marian Scholars Program, an inclusive education program for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities, which was implemented in the fall of 2020, and the first of its kind in Wisconsin for Catholic high schools. B Developing a diversity, equity, and engagement strategic plan based on the recommendations from our work with a third party consulting cooperative. B Increasing financial aid support for incoming families. B Expanding wellness programming β€” even in the transition to virtual learning, specifically addressing the unique mental/ social/emotional needs of students during this time. B Starting to address facility-related HVAC needs. Although much work remains and we will always have substantial room for growth as an institution, I remain confident in who we are as a community. I know we will continue to build on our progress and continue to execute the strategic plan to ensure DSHA remains the premier choice for a girl seeking to grow in faith, heart, and intellect in the greater Milwaukee area. We thank you for partnering with us in this important work, and invite your continued support in the coming years. We are strong because of you. With sincere gratitude, Andy Lampereur 2019 –20 DSHA Board Chair

A Culture of Innovation Dear DSHA Community, One of my favorite aspects of DSHA is our ability to innovate, create, and invent while staying true to the mission that has guided us for decades. It is this combination that allows us to grow as an institution in the ways we accomplish educating young women of faith, heart, and intellect. In the 2019–2020 school year, this became more important than we could have imagined. Innovation in Student Experiences There’s a common thread that runs through our community: we dedicate ourselves to our students. The faculty and staff form opportunities that allow girls to deepen their learning, emerge from their comfort zones, and expand their understanding of the world. The following are a few examples of such innovation from this past year β€” born of the collective dedication to our girls: B T he ideation and creation of the Marian Scholars, an education program for girls with intellectual and developmental disabilities. B T he development of the STEM Scholars, allowing students to deeply explore STEM subjects in a career-focused manner. B T he first Holy Land Pilgrimage, which guided students to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. B T he creation of a new diversity, equity, and engagement strategic plan to ensure a safe and equitable environment that embraces the full community of students, as well as each individual young woman under our care. Innovation for Faculty and Staff Service Experience The first-ever TSC service day helped us celebrate and engage differently in DSHA’s mission. On Mother Mary Mission Day on February 6, we loaded buses and carpooled to give direct service to the Milwaukee community at many of the same places at which our students make a difference throughout the year. After helping and connecting with children, the elderly, and at non-profit community organizations, we gathered to share personal experiences and tied them to what surrounds our students when they serve. That day produced the fruit that comes with a change in routine. We were solidified in our dedication to our mission with a special message from Sister Karlyn Cauley, SDS, DS ’61.

DSHA Letter from the President

Innovation in Challenging Times This culture of innovation and creation is not new β€” it has always been a part of the fabric of DSHA. Even β€” and especially β€” during COVID-19 and our transition to virtual learning, faculty and staff were constantly working hard to give girls the best high school experience in Milwaukee. In addition to delivering a full, college-prep academic education, the faculty and staff jumped in and invented avenues to simulate every-day occurrences: student announcements were recorded and posted on YouTube, and Microsoft Teams was used to allow students to connect to their classes, show their school spirit, pray daily, and focus on all areas of their wellness. We saw students volunteer to help orchestrate this and participate in connecting with one another in faith, heart, and intellect online. No matter the challenges we faced, and how different the inside and outside of classrooms looked, we succeeded in giving girls our best because of this culture of forming and shaping new and different experiences. I am blessed to be surrounded by colleagues who have a spirit of invention and innovation. Their devotion to helping girls learn about and develop into their best selves is inspiring. And I am grateful for you β€” for your support of the inventions and creations of experiences that help our girls grow in faith, heart, and intellect. With a thankful heart, Katie Konieczny, DSHA ’92 President

THE QUALITIES of the

DSHA GRADUATE The five Qualities of a DSHA Graduate have become synonymous with the DSHA experience as the intentional development of each quality has been rooted into all parts of the all-girls, Catholic, college-preparatory education. Over the course of four years, DSHA promises that each young woman will grow into the very definition of a Believer, Self-Advocate, Critical Thinker, Communicator, and Leader. This year’s DSHA Annual Report features five achievements from the 2019–2020 school year β€” each one representative of a quality. We hope these Dasher stories leave you encouraged and inspired.

9


SHE IS A BELIEVER. She is a Believer who relies on Catholic Christian values which encourage her to act on God’s call to recognize her gifts and use her voice to pursue justice, live with integrity, and actively improve her world. A faith-filled role model, she demonstrates the highest respect and compassion for herself and for others by living a life that makes a difference.

SHE IS A SELF-ADVOCATE. She is a Self-Advocate, who as a young woman learns to accurately assess her abilities and to recognize and resist the cultural forces and customs that would erode her own emerging sense of self, or cause her to act in conflict with her own values and beliefs. Through systematic opportunities to learn, practice, and master self-advocacy behaviors, she begins to articulate her beliefs and values. She uses her own voice to state her opinion, ask questions, and effectively negotiate for her strongest possible outcome.

SHE IS A CRITICAL THINKER. She is a Critical Thinker who solves problems, improves processes, and sees what others cannot. She is innovative and creative, her wise counsel and enlightened perspectives highly sought-after. She is an adaptable, analytical, and curious intellectual who pursues deep understanding and trusts her instincts and experience.

SHE IS A COMMUNICATOR. She is a Communicator who is articulate, perceptive, and empowered to make her voice heard. She is highly skilled at interpersonal communication, effectively sharing ideas through various means, with various audiences, using advanced technology as needed. She is an active listener who is self-reflective and engaged and is a confident communicator who is unafraid to stand up and say what must be said.

SHE IS A LEADER. She is a Leader who takes initiative, leading by inspiration and influence. A skilled collaborator, she uses her full potential to motivate individuals and groups to accomplish goals and achieve dreams. She is inclusive, hopeful, and highly ethical; as a visionary leader, she is accountable to herself and to others, bravely forging new paths and building new connections.

Cecilia Garcia-Velez, DSHA ’20

On the 5th, 15th, and 25th day of every month, the Campus Ministry Collections Team, made up of 10 sophomores, juniors, and seniors at DSHA, led and organized an effort to gather canned goods from the entire student body. The items were then donated to the Mother of Good Counsel food pantry. The leaders of the collections team have one goal: bringing thousands of small acts (in total more than 6,000 donated canned goods) into one cohesive, difference-making venture.

Canned Goods Create Community By Madeline Zukowski, DSHA ’11

WHEN CAMPUS MINISTRY Collections Team member Cecilia Garcia-Velez, DSHA ’20, arrived at DSHA first at 6:30 a.m., she went up to the Campus Ministry Center to retrieve the cart with everything needed for the collection day β€” a clipboard to count the number of items given, wristbands to mark students who brought in a can and were therefore permitted to be out-of-uniform, and plastic bags in which to put the cans. β€œI walked through the chapel and stopped to pray,” Garcia-Velez said. β€œI thanked God for all the amazing girls who were about to bring in food for people in need.” In the 2019–2020 school year, the student body donated 6,297 canned goods to the Mother of Good Counsel food pantry. While giving a canned good is an individual act, the collections team has seen it build community in the halls of DSHA. 11


COMING TOGETHER Grabbing a canned good from their pantries or purchasing one at the grocery store is something most students can swing. Collection day is not something in which only certain students participate; almost everyone brings in can or two β€” or a bag full. β€œOnce you see the number of girls that are bringing in canned goods and are out of uniform on collection day, you notice that (almost) everyone comes together in giving,” Garcia-Velez said. β€œYou get to see everyone help someone by committing to donating. You really feel a part of the community when you give to collections β€” you are one of many helping the greater community.” With the academic rigor of DSHA and the countless other activities in which students are involved, it is possible for a student to forget about collection day and come in uniform. According to Kierra Pruitt, DSHA ’20, a member of the collections team, students place more importance on helping others rather than the chance to dress down. β€œSome students forget to dress down, but still donate a dollar to the pantry,” she said. β€œThey want to help in any way they can, whether or not they are out-of-uniform.” The way Dashers unite in giving shows Pruitt β€œthat everyone can come together for a cause. My classmates are really caring and selfless, and service to others is a big part of our community.” SMALL ACTS GO A LONG WAY While the collections team works hard before school to gather items on collection days, many of the members do not get to see the difference they make at the Mother of Good Counsel food pantry, where all goods are taken during students’ first hour classes. β€œOn the collections team, we do service in a sense without seeing the impact,” Garcia-Velez said. β€œNot seeing the impact was difficult for me at first. I can bring in a can, but I don’t see how my contribution matters. But if you think about it on a deeper level, our small donations are really going to help someone.” And grabbing a can from the pantry at home or visiting the grocery store before heading off to school is an accessible way to help someone less fortunate. Pruitt said there are always extra cans in her pantry that her family might not use, and it means more giving it to someone who β€œactually needs it.” β€œGiving is a small act that goes a long way for another person,” said Garcia-Velez. β€œOne can might not mean a lot to my family, but it does for another family.” During the last semester of her time on the collections team, Pruitt had a first-hour study hall. She used her free period to go to the food pantry to deliver the goods with then Director of Salvatorian Service Stephanie Monson, currently the Director of Campus Ministry as of fall 2020.

DSHA Quality of a Graduate: She is a Believer

β€œSeeing who we were giving the canned goods to was really important to me,” Pruitt said. β€œPeople are on a waiting list for food from the (Mother of Good Counsel) pantry. For some people, this is their main source of food.” In fact, while DSHA helps to pack the food pantry, some months students are not in school on the 5th, 15th, and 25th. When that happens, said Garcia-Velez, the pantry has less food than normal to share with the greater community. Therefore, the collections team encourages students to bring in more than one or two cans on the collection day before the missed opportunity. β€œWe know in Milwaukee there are many who rely on food pantries,” Pruitt said. β€œIt’s a prominent issue in our community, and we see it in our city. Any good thing we do helps combat the issue. Even one more item makes a big difference.” CANS AND CATHOLICISM Donating a can or two to the food pantry might be a small act, but both Pruitt and Garcia-Velez have grown significantly in their faith life by being a part of the collections team. The collections team always gathers to pray in the Campus Ministry Center for a successful donation day before greeting students at the door and collecting canned goods. For Pruitt, the collections team helped her achieve her goal of participating in long-term service. Because of her time on the collections team, she hopes to continue to engage in community service regularly at Marquette University, where she is a freshman this year. According to Garcia-Velez, her faith played a huge part in her time on the team, even though she may not have realized it at the time. β€œIt’s all about thinking of giving back to others and treating others how you would want to be treated,” she said. β€œSmall acts of kindness are the highlight of Jesus’ mission. In every girl that helped, every collections team member, and in Mrs. Monson, I saw God.” Monson said that the whole community grows in the service aspect of their faith when greeted by a member of the collections team. β€œJesus looked people in the eye and served them. We want our girls to understand that, not just put a canned good in a bag,” she said. β€œService is about being with other people. When giving, girls must look the collections team member in the eye, and they become a part of the actual giving. β€œFaith and service should not be hands off; it should be about building community.” n DSHA 2019–20 Annual Report  12


Using Advocacy to Close the Gender Gap By Madeline Zukowski, DSHA ’11

Hilltopper Robotics Team 1732, comprised of girls from DSHA and boys from Marquette University High School (MUHS), created and built a robot that qualified for the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition World Championship this year. Even though the championship was cancelled due to COVID-19, the Dashers on the team learned beyond what a competition could teach themβ€”practicing self-advocacy as they led, gained confidence, and worked together.

AT THE HEART of every robotics team is β€” of course β€” the robot. Students pour their hearts, souls, weekends, and months into preparing it for competition. The blood, sweat, and tears were all worth the clinched spot at the Worlds competition. Since its founding in 2006, Hilltopper Robotics Team 1732 has qualified for the FIRST Robotics Competition World Championship every year, except in 2018 and 2019, according to Madelyn Jessick, DSHA ’21. While they were unable to clinch the trip to Worlds the last two years, they earned a spot this year; their robot beat out 45 other robots and came out victorious in a best-of-three match at the Midwest regional competition. Team 1732 competes within the FIRST organization. Each season, the team, made up of more than 60 members, must design and create a robot which will compete with other bots around the country in playing a specific game, like stacking milk crates or throwing frisbees into slots. 13

The team is comprised of several sub teams responsible for different parts of the bot. The mechanical sub team is responsible for building the parts, while the electrical team works on wiring. There are also programming, design, business, and strategy sub teams, and the newest sub team: spirit and awards. Each sub team has two to four leaders.


While the teams work together to create an effective robot, their ultimate goal is to qualify for the FIRST Robotics Competition World Championship. β€œ(When we found out we qualified for Worlds this year), the seniors were crying; I was crying; the whole team was super excited about it,” said Mary Rose Otten, DSHA ’20. Building a robot is no small feat. β€œIt takes as much dedication and time commitment as a varsity sport,” said Jessick. β€œWe’re in the build room at MUHS from 6:30 to sometimes 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and all-day Saturday for months. We tinker, solder, drill, cut things with saws, program, design, sometimes blow things up, and work together to build an incredible machine that honestly amazes me at the end of the season.” Although the trip to the Worlds competition was never realized due to COVID-19, the DSHA girls on the Hilltoppers Robotics Team 1732 made the most of a season cut short. FINDING CONFIDENCE While DSHA students know what it is like to work with and alongside other girls in the classroom, it is a whole new world when stepping into the robotics build room. β€œThe dynamic is really different than anywhere else,” said Otten. β€œBoys definitely outnumber the girls; the ratio is about 5:2. It can be hard for a girl to find her place on the team at first, but it is an opportunity to learn how to adapt.” The biggest challenge for Otten was finding a voice in a sea of boys. Dashers feel confident in the safe, all-girls environment at DSHA. Participating on a team with MUHS boys allowed Otten and her classmates to learn how to advocate for themselves beyond the all-girls atmosphere. Maritza Hernandez-Sanchez, DSHA ’20, was one of three leads β€” and the only female lead β€” on the mechanical sub team, comprised of 20 students from DSHA and MUHS. She said to be the one female lead

was intimidating at first, and at times she felt as if she had to prove herself worthy of the lead role. β€œIt took a while for the team to see me as a leader,” she said. β€œI had to communicate well with them and show them that I could do tasks as well as they could,” she said, speaking highly of the experience to practice self-advocacy in a new, co-ed environment. BROTHERS & SISTERS Despite the occasional challenges of working together, HernandezSanchez, Otten, and Jessick all agree that Team 1732 is a family. They spend a lot of time together, form friendships, and the support of one another comes along with it. As Otten and Hernandez-Sanchez move on to college, they will miss the teammates they are leaving behind. β€œThe other members of the team and the (adult) mentors always made me laugh and were great role models,” said Otten. β€œI don’t think I’ve met better people in my life. They are my second family.” β€œI will miss the sense of community and family,” said HernandezSanchez. β€œThey are some of my closest friends. We joke around with each other, have traditions like stopping at Gillies for ice cream, and we all get along, like most families do.” FROM ROBOTICS TO REAL LIFE While competitions are a big part of robotics, the program has also led many of the girls on the team to consider a career in a STEMrelated field. Being a part of the robotics team allowed Jacquelyn Komas, DSHA ’20, to learn that she is passionate about engineering. Corporate sponsors of Team 1732, like Rexnord and Rockwell Automation, send some of their employees to talk with the robotics members.

This allows DSHA students to ask questions about STEM careers and see women in the field. Hernandez-Sanchez took a DSHA stage craft class that introduced the computer software AutoCAD in addition to being a lead on the robotics team. β€œIt allowed me to bring robotics and academics at DSHA together, which helped me solidify my career path,” she said. DSHA offers its students 39 STEM classes, of which more than a dozen are considered advanced. These classes allow girls to move from a foundational knowledge base into the ability to integrate and apply the knowledge of mathematics and science toward real-world problem solving. An all-girls education and STEM go hand in hand: all-girls’ school graduates are six times more likely to major in math, science, and technology1 β€” and three times more likely to consider engineering careers2 β€” than girls who attend co-ed schools. Because of the STEM experience, confidence, leadership, and communication taught at DSHA, its girls exceed in programs like robotics. β€œI learned I’m much more confident than I thought I was, especially when I believe that I know what I’m doing,” said Otten. β€œI learned I’m a pretty good leader,” said Hernandez-Sanchez. β€œI thought I would never have the confidence to be a leader, but it was a great experience I would have missed out on if I didn’t believe in myself.” n

DSHA Class of 2020 National Merit Finalists Four members of the DSHA Class of 2020 were honored as National Merit Finalists β€” an exceptional academic recognition given to less than one percent of seniors nationwide for their achievement on their junior year PSAT test. While each of the four young women transformed into critical thinkers in a unique way, they all had one thing in common: the development of this quality would not have been possible without their DSHA sisters.

Finding a Balance

β€œIt’s easy for me to get lost in academics, but they reminded me I needed to take time for myself and pushed me to do things that I might have otherwise not been willing to do.” Anna Wozniak, DSHA ’20 National Merit Finalist Boston University

15

Although Anna Wozniak, DSHA ’20, was academically strong throughout her elementary and middle school years, she was not prepared for how academically rigorous DSHA would be. As she sat in her College Prep English class freshman year, she realized she was going to have to work harder and reach out for help β€” from both her teachers and her peers β€” in order to succeed. Working hard and getting good grades, particularly in more challenging classes, would be much more fulfilling than receiving high marks in less difficult classes, Wozniak thought. β€œIn middle school it was easy for me to get good grades, but the feeling I get when I get good grades in a challenging course is so much better,” she said. β€œIt helped motivate me to challenge myself and think critically.” Wozniak said that reaching out for help from a teacher or forming a study group with peers β€” tactics she used throughout her four years at DSHA β€” are never bad ideas. β€œI don’t think that reaching out for academic help is inferior,” she said. β€œIt’s a way for you to learn how to do the things you’re struggling with. It’s harder to succeed if you don’t reach out.” It’s a tactic Wozniak plans to use when she attends Boston University as a freshman. And while Wozniak asked for help from her high school peers in her coursework, her friends also helped her find a balance between academics and having fun, taking advantage of what high school has to offer β€” like attending dances. β€œMy friends helped me bring me down to earth,” she said. β€œIt’s easy for me to get lost in academics, but they reminded me I needed to take time for myself and pushed me to do things that I might have otherwise not been willing to do. They helped me let loose.”


DSHA Quality of a Graduate: She is a Critical Thinker

β€œBeing in community is what makes life more interesting. It’s fun to take notes, cool to write papers, but experiencing the journey of DSHA is much more worth it when you have each other.” Moria Gonzales, DSHA ’20 National Merit Finalist University of Nebraska-Lincoln

A Well-Rounded Young Woman Throughout her four years, Moira Gonzales, DSHA ’20, realized that the DSHA experience was made up of more than strong academics, a powerful faith formation program, and challenging co-curricular activities. It was also, and perhaps most importantly, focused around community. As a sacristan in Campus Ministry, she saw community in recognizing the same faces week after week during the Faith Friday optional Masses. She also recognized the bond between students in World Languages Faculty Lindy Stone’s Latin classroom, a space where participating in classroom discussions and helping each other understand concepts assisted students in appreciating the value of the DSHA sisterhood. β€œI realized academics is about much more than reading assignments,” she said. β€œIt’s about making connections, talking to other people about what you’ve learned, and discovering more.”

Through those conversations, Gonzales received support from fellow Dashers. She was able to talk with her friends as a break from studying, but she was also able to talk through lessons learned in class and receive insight from other students. β€œIt is important for every Dasher to have that type of community, make connections with others, and have those friends one can talk to in good times and bad,” Gonzales explained. She hopes to find a similar feel at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she has started this fall. β€œBeing in community is what makes life more interesting,” she said. β€œIt’s fun to take notes, cool to write papers, but experiencing the journey of DSHA is much more worth it when you have each other. Humans are social by nature, and you feel better when you’re with one another.”

DSHA 2019–20 Annual Report  16


β€œI felt disconnected; I questioned things; I felt I wasn’t equipped or strong enough. Yet my friends, classmates, and teachers always had my back no matter what.” Anna Klempay, DSHA ’20 National Merit Finalist Class of 2020 Valedictorian University of Notre Dame

To Deeply Think and Feel Anna Klempay, DSHA ’20, was anxious going into Social Studies Faculty Tom Montgomery’s AP US History class. She knew the class would be challenging; she wanted the challenge. But this class pushed her outside of her comfort zone. However, when pushed, it helped her think in a different way, especially when it came to learning. Her teachers consistently challenged her to think differently and deeper. β€œTeachers at DSHA promote critical thinking in all ways, even in ways we don’t even realize,” Klempay said. β€œWe’ll often have reflection assignments to think about what we’ve learned through an experience or tests on how we can apply certain lessons to our own lives.” Klempay may have taken numerous challenging classes that often pushed her, but like everyone else, she had a bad day every once in a while. She made mistakes both inside and outside of the classroom; was uncertain at times where life was 17

going to lead her; and despite her type A personality, could not control certain aspects of her life. The entire DSHA community, she says, helped her get through those times. β€œThere were definitely a lot of days I felt lost, especially when it came to faith and academics,” she said. β€œI felt disconnected; I questioned things; I felt I wasn’t equipped or strong enough. Yet my friends, classmates, and teachers always had my back no matter what. Even when I felt like the world was against me, I always had someone to talk to. Everyone was so loving. I didn’t have to think for a second whether or not I belonged in the classroom.” And the comradery, support, and friendship she felt allowed her to grow in faith, be fearless in making mistakes, and not feel the pressure to be perfectβ€”an understanding of learning she’ll take with her as she continues her academic journey at the University of Notre Dame.


She is a Critical Thinker

All-Girls Makes All the Academic Difference At the beginning of freshman year, Brooke Mackey, DSHA ’20, was shy β€” not unlike most freshmen girls who are making the transition from middle school to high school. That shyness grew into confidence β€” not only on the Varsity Softball field where she excelled, but in the classroom, specifically in the English course Female Identity in Literature. The in-class discussions focused around difficult topics from time to time, but the students in her class were open minded and supported each other’s thoughts and opinions. This allowed Mackey to feel comfortable participating and sharing in discussion; she said she might not have been so willing if she was taking the class in a co-ed environment. β€œThe all-girls aspect of DSHA helps you connect with other people,” she said. β€œYou find that you have similar beliefs and ideas β€” you know the people around you are good people.” Being in an all-girls high school, Mackey explained, an environment that supports the thoughts, beliefs, and confidence of its students, made her want to work harder and stand out to her teachers amongst her fellow peers. She did just that β€” taking two dual-credit college level courses and six AP classes throughout her DSHA career. While she excelled in academics, she worked hard to receive good marks, especially in in English. She discovered in English Faculty Andy Lelinski’s College Prep English and Ethnicity in American Literature classes that her writing needed improvement, a skill she said was never her forte. While Lelinski’s classes were difficult, she sought help from him until her writing was clearer.

Mackey also had support from her fellow Dashers; she had a group of four or five friends with whom she formed a bond through the academic rigor at DSHA. Most of them were in similar classes and they would problem-solve homework and study for tests together. β€œEvery single day there was some interaction that made learning easier or help me figure out a different concept at DSHA,” she said. β€œMy classmates would give me little encouragements that helped me throughout the day.” While once shy and intimidated, Mackey learned that it is important to lean on the community around you, a community that uplifts and supports you. She hopes to find a similar community at the University of Notre Dame. β€œDepend on the girls around you,” Mackey said as advice to future Dashers. β€œThey’re there to help you out. And when they ask you for help, return the favor.” n

Moving Toward an Inclusive and Whole Community By Honor Callanan, DSHA ’21 (left) and Emily Capper, DSHA ’21 (right)

As the bell rang signaling the beginning of co-curricular time, the unwavering, organized chaos of the Best Buddies club time ensued with students catching up with their friends and girls eagerly filling the circular tables of the Quad. Vibrant noise and laughter filled the entirety of the only space large enough to house the largest club in the school β€” around 100 girls. Despite the normalcy of these occurrences, something stood out on this day as Principal Dan Quesnell was waiting off to the side, quietly looking out into the sea of plaid and polos. Although achieving silence among the members was often a struggle, Mr. Quesnell quickly gained the attention of everyone sitting when he revealed his plans for DSHA to pursue a program that would give girls with disabilities the chance to become Dashers. Little did we know that what started as a routine club meeting would both spark inspiration for, and set into motion, what is today the Marian Scholars Program β€” a student-centered, inclusive education program for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

BUILDING A SPECIAL education program at a school like DSHA meant we were starting from scratch. The journey began when we were asked to accompany research trips to Catholic schools across the nation along with DSHA faculty and other students. We visited schools with similar types of programs that we hoped to construct. Before these trips, it was difficult to fully grasp what an inclusion program would look like at our school, and it became easy to get lost in all of the different professional terms and jargon that were thrown around. However, with programs as unique as these, it quickly became apparent that the best way to truly understand was through firsthand experience β€” and we were lucky enough to be able to take part in that. 19

Our research trips to Catholic high schools with inclusion programs in Tennessee, Maryland, and Virginia became invaluable resources to help build the Marian Scholars Program. We were able to speak to members of the community β€” students, teachers, parents, and administration β€” who helped us learn that programs like these did not just benefit the students with disabilities in the program, but rather benefit all members of the school community. Our school hosts were so excited to hear we might be starting a program of our own and loved to tell us about the amazing ways their inclusion programs had touched their own lives. After sharing our questions and absorbing all of the perspectives of those


DSHA Quality of a Graduate: She is a Communicator

we encountered, whether through shadowing classes or spur of the moment interactions, we began to see how we could adapt the program to our own school environment and how the implementation would positively impact the school community in countless ways. The loving and widespread nature of the inclusive environments at the schools we visited painted a vivid picture of what we hoped to see come to fruition at DSHA with the implementation of the Marian Scholars Program in the fall. There was a fair share of uncertainty that existed at the start of the process in regards to what a special education program would look like in a Catholic high school like ours. But there was an undeniable passion burning bright within us to help people within the DSHA community understand the benefits and logistics of the Marian Scholars Program. Even with our youth being outwardly apparent to those with whom we interacted, our age did not and could not deter the immeasurable excitement our faces and voices exuded whenever we were asked to share our school visit experiences. Our communication skills were in constant use as we debriefed our trips with our travel groups of students and faculty, and prepared and gave presentations to the DSHA Board of Directors, the faculty and staff, the DSHA Parent Association, and other groups within the school. During this communication phase, there were times we were the only non-adults in the room, but we made sure to openly provide input and insight fully knowing the incalculable value of our student perspectives which proved essential to what the formation of the Marian Scholars Program ultimately is today. For the Marian Scholars themselves, this program provides young women with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the greater Milwaukee area the opportunity to have an unparalleled Dasher experience with a whole-person education, exceptional

faith formation, and entrance into a sisterhood that will last a lifetime. However, the benefits of this program are not limited to the Marian Scholars, but instead extend throughout the DSHA community and beyond. This program strengthens our community by encouraging us to be more understanding, and more importantly, more appreciative of the differences we all possess that play an integral role in contributing to our unique individualism and holistic identity as a school. On a broader scale, the program provides witness to the greater message of our Catholic faith, putting precepts into action by ensuring that all are shown the unconditional love and support that God abundantly showers upon everyone β€” no matter our differences or ability levels. Having the Marian Scholars Program at DSHA, in conjunction with all of our school community members from a variety of differing backgrounds, faiths, socio-economic statuses, and other distinctions, truly helps to serve as a microcosm of the immense diversity that Dashers will encounter in the real world. We are both so incredibly grateful to have been able to contribute to this amazing program. We are confident the Marian Scholars Program will impact an abundance of people for the better for years to come. Although our experiences with people with disabilities have been by no means uniform, our desire for all young women to be able to be formed by an all-girls, Catholic education, to be afforded the life-changing opportunities, and to know their worth and potential, is shared. In the future, we hope to look back on our work in retrospect and see the DSHA community, the greater Milwaukee area, and the world as a whole become a more inclusive place as a direct result of the Marian Scholars Program. n

Bigger than Basketball By Molly Shea

FROM DAY ONE OF PRACTICE, the DSHA Varsity Basketball team had the goal of winning the WIAA State Championship in the 2019–2020 season. After advancing to the fifth state tournament in school history, and first since 2015, the team’s season came to an abrupt end on March 12 β€” the day before their scheduled first game of the tournament β€” due to evolving concerns surrounding COVID-19. With a state title for the season no longer possible, the team’s coaching staff and senior captain leadership offered perspective and guidance on a disappointing end to a season that was absolutely worth celebrating β€” like family.

21


DSHA CREATES LEADERS In the all-girls environment, every leadership position is held by a young woman, allowing girls to shine within a sisterhood where they can safely take risks and practice using their voice while they grow in confidence. While being accountable to herself and others, each girl has the opportunity to practice inclusive, hopeful, and ethical leadership. Dashers in leadership positions often find themselves balancing the prescribed duties of the position while simultaneously attempting to make it their own, inspiring their classmates toward a unified objective. This was certainly the case for the three senior captains of the 2019–2020 DSHA Varsity Basketball team: Alyah Garcia, DSHA ’20; Jackie Jarosz, DSHA ’20; and Jadin O’Brien, DSHA ’20. Their capacity to influence and lead was stretched as their very big goals were forced into an abrupt change. In the end, their guidance met different needs than what they had originally hoped. Yet a season with months of putting leadership into demonstrable daily action allowed them to shepherd their teammates through adversity β€” with much to celebrate. GOAL #1 | PLAY LIKE A FAMILY When the captains are asked to think back to the beginning of their season and reflect on their initial goals, their unified response is twofold: to win a state title, but more importantly, to become a family. β€œWe had a really special group β€” a lot of us have been playing together since 7th grade,” Jarosz said. β€œIt felt like everything was culminating with this season. We wanted to make memories, take nothing for granted, and inspire the younger girls on our team to join us. We really wanted to have a family vibe on and off the court.” β€œThe family part was super important,” O’Brien adds, crediting her fellow captains and Varsity Basketball Coach (and DSHA Director of College Counseling) Brian Hendricks. β€œTo be in this together, we made sure we were working as a family toward common goals every day. Big ones and small ones.” Jadin O’Brien, DSHA ’20

DSHA Quality of a Graduate: She is a Leader

While the seniors were dedicated to providing a family environment for the underclassmen, Garcia shares they were, in turn, motivated by the support they received from those they were leading. β€œAt the beginning of the season, we each put a slip of paper into a box that had the name of the person or people we wanted to dedicate the season to,” she shares. β€œEveryone wrote β€˜the seniors’ β€” they (the underclassmen on the team) wanted a state title for us, and we were motivated to lead and encourage them.” GOAL #2 | A STATE TITLE – THROUGH THE BACK DOOR A β€œback door” in basketball typically refers to an offensive player without the ball who cuts behind her defender, moving toward the basket in an attempt to receive a pass for a layup. For the Dashers, a different kind of back door was symbolic of everything they were working toward. The WIAA State Basketball Tournament takes place at the Resch Center each March in Green Bay. Teams who make the tournament get to enter through the back door. On New Year’s Eve of 2019, the Dashers got a glimpse of this goal: they played the defending state champions Bay Port in Green Bay. And while they fell short of a win, that night was significant; after the loss, Hendricks took his team over to the Resch Center to refocus. β€œWe entered and exited that night through the front door,” Hendricks said. β€œWe knew our team was special, we knew our goal was still to win state β€” this game did not change this.” Rather, it was a crucial time to regroup around the goal. β€œWe (the coaching staff) told them that we were coming back, and when we do, we’ll enter through the back door. We rallied around this understanding together as a team.” When Hendricks was asked when he truly started to believe his team could win state, he points to the game following this loss. On January 3, 2020, the Dashers opened their Greater Metro Conference (GMC) schedule with a convincing 69–36 win against the third ranked team in the conference, Hamilton Sussex. (Continued on next page.)

DSHA 2019–20 Annual Report  22


β€œWe were playing with such consistent drive, with a new focus toward our goal to get to the back door,” Hendricks shares. SO CLOSE Nearly two months later, with only three losses on the season (all to top-ten ranked teams), the Dashers had another significant momentum shift. The regional championship against Watertown matched two top-ten seeded teams β€” both determined to continue their season with a win. β€œThese girls were working so hard β€” I had to work myself to match their intensity and focus,” Hendricks says pointing to the leadership of the seniors during the game. β€œThey had the attitude that they were not losing, and when Alyah hit that shot…” Hendricks trails off, choking up a bit as he reflects joyfully on the end of the game. Alyah Garcia, Garcia hit a three-point DSHA ’20 basket at the buzzer during double-overtime to send the team on to their next step toward the back door. Next up was the sectional semi-final win against top-ten Appleton East where the Dashers forced 30 turnovers in a 74–63 win. Soon to follow was a 63–44 win over West Bend β€” including a 28-point lead at halftime β€” that clinched the Dashers’ spot in the state tournament. β€œWe were playing with swag,” Hendricks says of his team. β€œWe were ready to take state.” LEAN ON ME Making it to the state tournament is a major accomplishment in itself β€” especially at the Dashers’ D1 level. On Thursday, March 12, the team drove up to Green Bay to get settled in their hotel the day before their first scheduled game of the tournament. They arrived at 8 p.m. The tournament was underway for some of the smaller school divisions, but COVID headlines were brewing around the country β€” including an announcement of the cancellation of the NCAA basketball tournaments earlier that day. 23

Around 11 p.m. that evening, the WIAA broke the news that the boys and girls state tournaments would be cancelled. The Dashers were in their rooms, mostly asleep at this point, until a group text started rolling to break the news. The team woke each other up and met in the hotel lobby with their coaches. Jarosz shares, β€œNo one knew what to say at this point. We were so sad.” β€œWe literally leaned on each other,” Garcia adds. β€œOur shared sorrow showed how connected we were as a team.” Connected like family. Hendricks sent the team back to their rooms around midnight. But he called his captains β€” Garcia, Jarosz, O’Brien, and Emily Capper, DSHA ’21 β€” back down to meet with the coaches in a hotel lobby conference room. β€œWe’ve relied on the captains all season β€” as leaders with real responsibilities. They have essentially been an extension of the coaching staff, and we needed their perspective. The team needed them,” he shares. β€œCoach asked us as captains what we wanted to do the next day,” O’Brien shares. And while Hendricks offered a hike or an escape room β€” something to remind them they were a family β€” the team had a different idea. β€œJackie said she wanted to touch the back door,” said O’Brien. As Hendricks recalls the conversation, he speaks slowly and fights back tears β€” out of love for his team; respect for their approach to adversity and disappointment; and for the leadership of his captains as they would guide the attitudes of the other girls. THE GREATEST GAME NEVER PLAYED The next morning, the team drove to the Resch Center. They were able to take photos in front of the back door, but they were told to enter through the front. The team the Dashers would have played that night β€” the team that helped reaffirm their commitment to a state title on New Year’s Eve β€” walked in right behind them. Bay Port had the same idea β€” to face the adversity with a positive outlook and to celebrate a season well played. Hendricks approached the coach from Bay Port and asked if they wanted to run through starting line-ups on the Resch Center court. Their head coach responded with a better option: β€œDo you want to play a game?” There was no basketball to be found. Rather than walking away with another disappointment, the girls played an imaginary game β€” with starting line-ups, a tip-off, and pretend possessions running up and down the floor. The senior captains did not get their state title, but their approach allowed for both closure and celebration. β€œFrom the very first practice, coach was talking about being at the arena, that our hard work will have paid off. Being so close and being physically able to be there was so important,” Jarosz shares.


She is a Leader Garcia agrees, β€œWe were all sad about the season ending so abruptly, but we still felt a real sense of accomplishment. Being there, standing on the court was such a surreal moment. I was overwhelmed with joy. We felt sad we wouldn’t be able to bring a gold ball back to DSHA, but playing that (imaginary) game allowed us to look back upon the season and see the great accomplishments.” β€œBoth teams showed a lot of maturity and good sportsmanship β€” we all wanted the title. I’ll never forget it,” O’Brien adds. β€œBecause of that morning, we were able to talk about the good the whole way home.” NEW PATHS + BUILDING CONNECTIONS As the senior captains were asked to reflect on the season, they all express gratitude for the challenges they have faced, along with the community they have faced them with. β€œSports have always taught me a lot about life β€” the importance of teamwork in the bigger picture,” Jarosz shares. β€œThe destination won’t always come, but what you’re working for matters anyway. I think we made the journey worthwhile together.” O’Brien points to her faith as something she has leaned on in gaining perspective on the season: β€œI might not understand everything right now, but I trust that God has the greater good in mind. These challenges will make us stronger. The DSHA community has allowed us to flourish β€” we have worked so hard and have had so much fun as a team. We’ll have this forever.” Garcia also points to the community she has helped form. β€œMy senior year season has showed me what love is; what trust is; what family is. Every day we were able to strengthen our relationships on and off the court.” As Hendricks reflects on the season he points to the same. β€œThey would not have made it this far unless they were a family. I want them to look back and see that it wasn’t about a top player or an individual accomplishment β€” though there were so many. We were one team,” he says. β€œI hope they remember the dance parties and dinners at Culver’s after home wins, the service projects, and team devotions. I hope they remember that a terrible situation allowed them to come together and take on adversity as a unit β€” and to keep fighting the good fight in every situation. This was bigger than basketball.” The β€œLeader” DSHA Quality of a Graduate is in part defined as β€œbravely forging new paths and building new connections.” The senior captains certainly answered the call to both as they led their teammates in love; demonstrated hard work toward a unified goal; and rose to unexpected challenges with a community perspective in mind. Their season was, indeed, bigger than basketball. n

DSHA 2019–20 Annual Report  32


2019–2020

DONOR CONTRIBUTIONS   The entire DSHA community β€” alumnae, parents, students, businesses, friends, and foundations alike β€” were generous in giving to DSHA during the 2019–2020 academic year, contributing $1,955,648 to support current operations and scholarships.

Annual Fund $837,965

DSHA Auction* 395,831

Endowment $254,707

33

ANNUAL FUND z  The DSHA Annual Fund supports the full Catholic, all-girls high school experience β€” from scholarships that allow outstanding young women the opportunity to be a part of the DSHA community, to the academics, faith formation, co-curriculars, and student support they receive. Tuition alone does not cover these total operating costs. Contributions to the annual fund are vital to form young women in faith, heart, and intellect. Due to the financial uncertainties of many surrounding COVID -19, our expectations for annual fund contributions shifted this spring. We are so grateful for our donors for helping us finish the fiscal year with nearly 90% of our annual fund goal raised.

DSHA AUCTION* z  Polka dots and poodle skirts dominated the room at the β€œForever Plaid, 1950s Edition” auction. The auction, one of DSHA’s time-honored annual traditions, is the school’s largest fundraising event. During the Stop-The-Auction portion of the evening, attendees were able to support Dashers who would not have the means to attend DSHA without the help of generous donations. By raising a paddle, guests gave more than $200,000 for scholarships alone. Every penny donated to the DSHA Auction makes a difference in the lives of Dashers.

ENDOWMENT z  The DSHA Endowment provides enduring and permanent support to students of today, tomorrow, and the future, ensuring they will receive a premier Catholic, college-preparatory education at DSHA. The endowment supports scholarships for top-notch students, as well as faculty professional development and competitive compensation.


Scholarship $177,140

SCHOLARSHIP z  Scholarships allow young women to attend DSHA regardless of their financial situation, helping DSHA build a diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus for all students and the families that support them. Because of scholarships, exceptional students are able to earn an equally exceptional education and pursue their goals and dreams in the Catholic, all-girls environment. Almost 40 percent of the student body relies on need-based scholarships to receive a DSHA education; additional scholarship awards are given to students for demonstrating strong academic, leadership, and service pursuits, or for exhibiting outstanding character. Scholarships not only benefit individual students, but all students. They create a stronger learning environment at DSHA, make the school more representative of its surrounding diverse community, help girls embrace and respect differences in background and perspective, as well as widen students’ outlook on their city, community, and world.

Specified Gifts $136, 253

SPECIFIED GIFTS z  Occasionally, donors wish to apply their gift to a specific area of the overall DSHA experience, supporting items such as extracurricular activities, co-curricular clubs, or athletics. These gifts support DSHA in developing the whole person in their students.

Dash-a-Thon* $82,792

DASH-A-THON* z  Students went β€œdashing through the decades” this year at the annual Dash-a-Thon event. Dash-a-Thon is a school-wide walk/run that provides students with an all-school community experience that offers memories of a lifetime. Students dressed in theme, this year donning the fashion of the late 1900s. Most importantly, the event gives students an opportunity to financially give back to DSHA. Since its start 37 years ago, Dash-a-Thon has raised millions for DSHA, supporting its mission and the experiences it gives to young women in Milwaukee.

Golf Outing* $70,960

PARENT ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION GOLF OUTING AND DINNER* z  Parents and friends of DSHA have a PAR-TEE at the PAA Golf Outing, during which all monies raised go directly to Dasher Athletics. The Parent Athletic Association’s only fundraiser, the outing helps provide the best coaches, trainers, and equipment to DSHA student athletes.

We give to DSHA because it has been transformative for our daughters β€” a life-changing journey of faith, intellect, leadership, and growth into the person for others they are each called to be. Because tuition only covers 76% of the cost of educating a student, we know that the additional financial support is important. We also give because, quite simply, our world needs DSHA graduates. As strong women of intellect and faith, they will be called upon to lead and make a difference in our world. β€” Andrea and Andy Schlidt, parents of Rosie, DSHA ’20, and Ellie, DSHA ’22

DSHA 2019–20 Annual Report  44


Q &A

with Maria Haas Tess, HA ’68 Former Alumnae Board President and One of DSHA’s Biggest Supporters Maria Haas Tess, HA ’68, and her husband Bill, are long-time and enthusiastic donors of DSHA, who support the school through both their treasure and time. They have invested in an endowed fund, kept DSHA in their estate plans, and have given to the DSHA Annual Fund for years, but their gifts have not stopped there. They enjoy their visits to DSHA, sometimes proudly showing off the school to friends and family. Furthermore, Tess has spent the last decade on the DSHA Alumnae Board, stepping down from her role as president and moving into an ex officio role. While the Tess’ kindness to DSHA is substantial and DSHA is thankful for them, their greatest gift is their pride in and commitment to the school and its community.

Q: You have attended Catholic schools your entire life. Why is it important to you to support all-girls, Catholic education? A: I think a sound faith gives you such good roots for everything you will ever experience in life. I believe that a basic part of everyone’s education should be about developing spiritual convictions so that you believe in something whatever you may encounter. My husband and I have no kids, and when we sat down and decided what we were going to do with what we worked hard for, we decided education was the best way we could affect our own community and the world. I have always had strong, positive feelings about my own educational background. A girl’s teenage years are a pivotal part of her growing and maturing process. We wanted to focus on a high school, and it was no question that DSHA would be the high school we support. Q: Describe your time at Holy Angels Academy. What is your fondest high school memory? A: I was the only one that went to Holy Angels from my grade school St. John deNepomuc in Milwaukee. I had to start out fresh and make new friends. That was the great thing about Holy Angels β€” it opened your circle up to meet girls from all over the city. I was honored to be a part of the Angelaires, the audition-based group of singers. We got involved in the theatre productions and traveled. 45


Donor Highlight

... those four years at DSHA are a turning point for the rest of their lives and will lead them to make good choices in their future. β€”Maria Tess, HA ’68 But my absolute fondest memory was after senior year throughout July and August. One of my teachers took us on a school-sponsored educational tour in Europe. It was a wonderful experience, and it gave me a knowledge of many cultures. It also taught me that if you want something badly enough, you save for it. I worked hard to save for that trip. Q: How did Holy Angels Academy’s all-girls, Catholic environment impact you? A: It gave me a great sense of independence, freedom, leadership skills, and the ability to stand up for issues I believed in. Q: You’ve generously supported DSHA financially and through your time. Why is it important to you to support DSHA in both time and treasure? A: It is very easy to sit down and write a check, but we like to be a part of and have an understanding in a school culture before we participate in funding them. With DSHA, we wanted to make sure the school was still concentrating on forming its students in faith, heart, and intellect. We found that the school was not only like it was when I attended, but it had strengthened since I had been there. Q: You and Bill give financially to students, but you also have established a teacher compensation fund. Why are you passionate about supporting DSHA’s teachers/faculty? A: I, but also my husband even more than myself, were really impacted by the teachers we had when we were in school. A teacher β€” or anybody in administration β€” can have such an impact on a student. We thought that would be a good place to put our support; it is where the highest impact could be made. Q: You have spent 10 years on the Alumnae Board and held leadership roles (as secretary and president). As an alumna, why are you passionate about working to better DSHA for future students, and involving other alumnae in the process? A: I want every young lady to experience what I was able to experience. Their family and grade schools have given them a good basis, but those four years at DSHA

are a turning point for the rest of their lives and will lead them to make good choices in their future. I work hard to get alumnae back and involved in the school again. For example, a few months ago, some of my friends from high school and I got together for lunch. Many of them have grown children and now have the financial capability to support organizations. I argue that DSHA should be a consideration. Q: You and Bill have attended (and planned!) many DSHA events. Do you have a favorite event? A: The event we enjoy coming to the most is the DSHA Auction. I love that night, and when it ends, I cannot wait for the event next year. We share the fun β€” we often buy a table and make it a family gathering or best friends gathering. Everyone has such a good time, and it gives the school exposure to some of our friends and families who know little of DSHA. It is such a wonderful evening! When I was on the Alumnae Board, I loved planning Santa’s Workshop. It is a lot of work, but I was able to use my crafty and artistic talents. I love seeing it come together, and every year it has grown in strength and appreciation among our community members and their families. To see the joy in the little kids that participate β€” that is precious beyond words. Q: What about DSHA today most impresses you? A: It is a feeling that is hard to explain. The moment I step into the door, whoever I encounterβ€”a custodian, student, staff, or teacherβ€”I can feel their dedication, high principals, goals, and achievement. This does not happen often, and it is not staged at DSHA. It is genuine, and it comes from the school itself. Q: What are your hopes for DSHA in the future? A: I hope it continues to be a sound educational facility that directs young women to wonderful futures and goals. That is a big challenge β€” there is a lot going on in the world, and the dynamics of education at all levels are in question. I pray that these things do not affect the future of the school. DSHA has done well to get its message across β€” that all aspects of a young girl are critical. That message is more important now than it ever has been before. n DSHA 2019–20 Annual Report  46

I give because I’ve always believed in the mission: the education of young women. I watch them grow into productive citizens. They leave here and when they come back to visit, they might be doctors like Brittany Mays (DSHA, ’09) or own their own businesses, or are getting doctorate degrees, which is very inspiring to others. β€”Claudia Sanders, DSHA Maintenance and Grounds Custodian

Giving is a yearly reminder of the lifelong friendships I have because of being a member of the DS class of 1958. And it’s an opportunity to remember the experiences we had in high school and know the current students are carrying on the same traditions. Although each year has different girls and faculty, the collegeprep curriculum and Catholic values remain at the heart of DSHA. β€” Maureen Driscoll Connell, DS ’58, mother of Katy Connell Bronson, DSHA ’83; Pattie Connell, DSHA ’84; and Eileen Connell Moghimi, DSHA ’86
