Forward in Faith

At DSHA, we are embarking on a bold new chapter with the launch of our capital campaign, Forward in Faith: Elevating Empowered Young Women. This ambitious initiative aims to enhance the educational experience for future generations of students by investing in critical infrastructure, innovative programs, security, competitive athletic fields, and scholarships that ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive.

We have embarked on a philanthropic campaign to enhance the DSHA experience for the young women of today and tomorrow. The coming years will bring leadership roles to more women than ever before. The improvements we plan ensure our graduates are ready for the challenges that come their way.

Every member of the DSHA community is a beneficiary of the vision, dedication, and past generosity of parents, alumnae, and friends, along with the Sisters of the Divine Savior and the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. As members of the DSHA community, we serve as stewards responsible for not only preserving the legacy of faithful excellence, but also for preparing the school and its students for the future. Now it's up to us to ensure the legacy of excellence continues for our students today and for the next generation.

This spring, DSHA embarks on the second phase of its Forward in Faith campaign. These improvements will increase security and provide competitive athletic facilities to our championship-winning athletics program. 

Groundbreaking for these projects begins in spring 2026:

• High-performance, competitive turf softball and multi-sport field for Dasher Athletics
• Outdoor concessions stand and ticket booth with restroom facilities
• Secured campus with a gated entrance and fenced perimeter
• Expanded parking so all students and staff can park on-site

DSHA has one of the strongest STEM education programs in the state. In the final phase of this campaign, we will support the needs, interests, and achievements of our students and faculty by improving our STEM facilities and other learning environments.

Here's what we have planned for the final stage of our campaign:

• State-of-the-art science labs
• Renovated classrooms in our original building, each outfitted to be technology-rich collaborative learning spaces
• Updated library and media center
• ADA-compliant and updated restrooms

Our first phase of this campaign is complete! DSHA now boasts expanded parking as well as updated electrical, heating, cooling, and air quality systems.

Another focus of this phase was expanding our endowment. These endowment funds ensure that DSHA can continue to offer young women an outstanding Catholic, college-preparatory education, no matter their financial status. It is our goal to create a strong student body that represents the diverse community in which we live.
