Dear Prospective Families, Choosing a high school is one of the most important decisions your family will make. It's about much more than where a student will spend the next four years, it's about finding a community that will help shape who she becomes. At Divine Savior Holy Angels, we believe every young woman is created with unique gifts, talents, and purpose. Our mission is to help her discover those gifts, strengthen her faith, challenge her intellectually, and inspire her to lead a life of service and impact. Here, young women are known by name, encouraged to ask questions, challenged to think critically, and supported as they grow in confidence. Whether she is discovering a passion in the classroom, leading her House, competing on the field, creating on the stage, serving others, or deepening her relationship with Christ, every experience is designed to help her become the woman God is calling her to be.
Katie Brown Konieczny, DSHA ’92 President
As Wisconsin's premier Catholic college-preparatory school for girls, DSHA offers exceptional academics, championship athletics, outstanding arts, meaningful leadership opportunities, and a vibrant campus ministry program rooted in the values of the Salvatorians. Our graduates leave prepared not only for college, but for lives of purpose, leadership, and service. We invite you to explore these pages, visit our campus, and experience firsthand what makes the DSHA community so special. More importantly, we hope you'll imagine your daughter here—learning, growing, leading, and discovering all that is possible. We look forward to welcoming your family to DSHA.

Their enduring charism continues to shape every aspect of the DSHA experience, inspiring young women to grow in faith, pursue excellence, serve others with compassion, and become leaders who make a difference in the world.

High school brings new opportunities—and new responsibilities. Teachers, counselors, and House leaders help students develop organizational skills, time management, and study habits that prepare them for success in college and college
Technology Students should have a personal laptop to access digital learning platforms and online resources throughout the school day while developing responsible digital citizenship. A select number of laptops are available to borrow at anytime during the school day.
Families receive information about textbooks, digital resources, required supplies, resale opportunities, and course-specific materials prior to the new school year. The Dasher Resale for books and uniforms happens in mid-June.
