Who We Are

Salvatorian House System

The Salvatorian House System is rooted in the charism of the Sisters of the Divine Savior, DSHA's sponsoring order. This system is a way to organize student life and create a sense of belonging for all Dashers.

Each student is placed in one of five houses where she will spend four years in an environment that is rooted in sisterhood, school spirit, and FUN! Each house contains freshmen through seniors who come together to organize and engage in school events and activities – including some friendly competition along the way.


Houses are assigned a DSHA Quality of a Graduate, patron saint, schoolwide events to organize, and more.
