Molly Monday Schmidt, DSHA '88 | Fall Semester 2024 of The Word Magazine
Alumna Molly Monday Schmidt, DSHA ’88, has financially given back to DSHA since her freshman year of college. In fact, since her own DSHA graduation, she has stayed closely connected to the school and sisterhood in numerous ways. She has served as her class representative since 1988, planned numerous class reunions, helped chair the Alumnae Father Daughter Dinner Dance, acted as President of the Alumnae Association, sat on the Alumnae Board, and more. As a legacy student herself, Schmidt’s mother, Kathy Mehegan Monday, DS ’61, instilled a love for all-girls education and DSHA early. Her close Dasher friends and former classmates often joke that Schmidt’s favorite color is “plaid” given how much she loves, admires, and supports DSHA and the all-girls environment. She also credits DSHA for a profound faith and currently serves as Director of Parishioner Engagement at St. Dominic Catholic Parish in Brookfield.

Via Vocare each DSHA senior serves for two full weeks in the greater Milwaukee community. By working alongside the elderly, children, or those with special needs, each senior experiences many of the critical issues facing our community and gains a deeper understanding of how she can utilize her God-given gifts and talents in service to others. Vocare helps integrate the true meaning of what it means to be a Dasher: a woman of faith, self-advocate, critical thinker, communicator, and servant leader.
