It is in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee and sponsored by the Sisters of the Divine Savior. History{{essay-like|section|date=October 2015}}The school was created in 1970 with the affiliation of Divine Savior High School (DS) and Holy Angels Academy (HA). Divine Savior High School was established in 1926 by the Sisters of the Divine Savior (Salvatorians-SDS) as a convent school; it opened its doors to lay students in 1948. In 1951, DS moved to a new building near 100th Street and Capitol Drive. Holy Angels Academy (HA) was founded in 1892 by the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (BVMs) at 12th Street and Cedar Street (now Kilbourn Avenue) in Milwaukee. In the years after its founding, HA continued to grow. In 1927 the BVMs dedicated an imposing new building on the school’s original site. From its beginnings, HA established strong academic and religious education programs that included four years of English, Latin, science, history, and fine arts. Reflecting the times, emphasis was placed on teaching patriotism, social service, and a concern for the development of "womanliness" and the social graces. For example, in the World War I years, it was not unusual for HA students to raise money for Liberty Bonds and then on Saturdays learn to pour tea and do "lady-like" things like "china painting." As times changed, the HA curriculum expanded, as did the range of student activities. However, the Academy’s core mission, reflecting the vision and example shared by the BVM order, its nineteen principals, staff, and alumnae over the years, was maintained until its closing.[2] Divine Savior High School, like HA, also expanded at its original site. Outgrowing its first location, the SDS sisters, led by their Superior General, Mother Olympia Heuel, first expanded the school at its North 36th Street location and then built a large, modern facility on 100th Street near Capitol Drive in Milwaukee. Sister Margaret (Charlene) Shekleton, the school’s first principal at its new location, guided the transfer. Together with a group of dedicated SDS and lay instructors, she established a college preparatory program that also featured a wide range of extracurricular activities that included student government, forensics, debate, drama, journalism, and Sodality. Athletic programs were started in basketball and volleyball.[3] At both schools parental involvement was encouraged; each organized active advisory boards and home and school associations. By the late 1960s, however, demographic, societal, and economic pressures led to the closing of many area schools, including most of Milwaukee’s Catholic high schools. Both HA and DS were affected by these pressures, which raised serious doubts about their futures. Still, in the face of the conditions facing both schools connected with declining enrollment, the drop in the number of teaching sisters, and severe budget deficits, the two sponsoring religious orders, parents, students, and alumnae maintained their faith in continuing the mission of providing Catholic high school education for young women. In 1970, and in the face of these realities, the religious sponsors and lay leaders of the two schools agreed to a proposed arrangement to join the schools together. The ensuing agreement meant the closing of HA. At the same time it offered the possibility of preserving the HA identity on the DS school site on 100th Street. No financial arrangements were made in the affiliation. What was understood was that in renaming the institution, Divine Savior Holy Angels High School and unifying the parents’ organizations, alumnae and school boards into one, the traditions of both schools would be preserved – with the sponsorship of the Sisters of the Divine Savior. Kenneth Grover was appointed the school’s first principal. Yet, even after the affiliation, the 1970s were difficult for the new DSHA high school. By then, the Sisters of the Divine Savior were finding it increasingly burdensome to continue their ownership of some of their institutions, which led to their closing. DSHA itself came under scrutiny as the question was raised over the sisters’ withdrawing from ownership of the school. In a word, "Should they seek out some group willing to purchase the school?" In 1975, a Salvatorian task force was established to confront this question. It recommended that a new try be made to continue the sisters’ commitment to DSHA, with the understanding that a new and successful effort be made.[4] In 1976, a DS alumna, Angela T. Pienkos, was named to the newly created position of chief administrator with a set of responsibilities that combined the duties of principal and those of leader of development. Working with a restructured and supportive Advisory Board, she energetically initiated the strengthening of educational programs and took on the task of putting the school on a solid financial footing. In implementing the school’s mission, Pienkos organized a hard working administrative team and an enthusiastic development office. Talented faculty responded to the need for a future-oriented, rigorous, academic, religious, and extra-curricular program. New student offerings were introduced, such as a four-year life orientation program focusing specifically on the needs of young women, a required service program, Advanced Placement courses, fine arts, foreign exchange programs, a greatly expanded athletic program and a number of new and academically challenging extracurricular activities. Too, at last, DSHA became financially secure with the introduction of such fund-raising activities as Bingo, the DSHA Auction, the annual fund drive, and the student walk ( Dash-A-Thon). Pienkos also undertook the challenge of developing a sense of identity of a large and loyal HA alumnae to the new DSHA. Appreciation of the BVM sisters and the many HA traditions made affiliation to DSHA painful to many alumnae.[5] However, as DSHA emerged to successfully continue the mission of the two schools, HA alumnae came to view DSHA as their school. With pride they saw the maintenance of its traditions, among them the Angelaires singing group, the white dresses worn by students at graduation, and the practice of awarding medals to alumnae daughters, mothers and grandmothers. Another challenge was to meet an historic concern at both schools to maintain an affordable tuition without sacrificing the quality educational program DSHA offered. Efforts were made to provide and increase the amount of financial aid and the number of scholarships to lower income and minority applicants. Over the next twenty years and more, hundreds of students received such support. The 1980s, a time of heated debate about the quality and effectiveness of American primary and secondary school education, saw DSHA emerge as a beacon of academic excellence. Its accomplishments were honored by the United States Department of Education in 1985 when DSHA was formally recognized as an Exemplary Private School at a Rose Garden ceremony at the White House. Catholic high schools that were not faring so well included some single-gender high school institutions. One response to declining enrollment and financial problems was for all-boys schools, two of them in the Milwaukee area, to consider altering their mission and turning co-educational. One of them did so; soon after a neighboring and highly regarded all-girls high school went out of existence. DSHA, too, was faced with this challenge when it was announced that the Jesuit-sponsored all-boys Marquette University High School of Milwaukee (MUHS) had begun an effort to gain support for its own move to becoming co-ed. This was a path other Jesuit high schools were taking around the country. Recognizing the grave danger to DSHA and the diminution of the single-gender educational option (something that was gaining new recognition as a valuable type of educational experience), Pienkos organized a multi-faceted campaign that called on the MUHS school community to preserve MUHS as an all-boys school. Even DSHA’s and MUHS’ student newspapers published surveys and editorials that opposed the idea. Such efforts had a salutary effect. They led to MUHS’ decision to remain an all-boys school, an action that enabled both DSHA and MUHS to thrive into the 21st century – with both achieving capacity enrollments and offering Milwaukee area parents and students more high-quality Catholic, single-gender secondary school educational options. In 1992 DSHA celebrated its centennial. It was with gratitude that DSHA reflected on its long history and constant dedication to its educational mission. The centennial events recalled the contributions of its founding religious sponsors, teachers, staff, and parents who had worked for and supported the school and its predecessors. At one of the centennial ceremonies a "Wall of Honor" was dedicated in honor and memory of the thousands of graduates of the school and its predecessor institutions. With a large space of land and a need to expand and modernize, the 1990s also saw a continuing effort to update its facilities. Changes to the school have included construction of the Marie Esser Hansen (HA 1943) Library, a computer laboratory and business computer classroom in 1996, and the Rose A. Monaghan Science Center and lecture hall in 1998. In 2003, the school was dramatically altered with the addition of the Robert and Marie Hansen Family Fine Arts Theatre, the Fridl Family Foyer, the Quad (a new cafeteria donated by Betty Quadracci), a new art suite, and new administrative areas. These physical changes were accompanied by a new strategic plan, revised mission and vision statements, a new logo, and new school uniforms. In 2015, DSHA made another addition knocking down the original gymnasium, and building the Chris and John McDermott Gymnasium, the R. J. Fridl Commons, Sarah M. Hegarty Fitness Center, a new academic wing with a music suite, and the Mother of Our Savior Chapel with the DuBois Campus Ministry center. DSHA has completed this through the Building on our Faith campaign, as well as taken a new approach to the students' wellness. DemographicsIn 2010-2011, the school enrolled 658 young women from the Milwaukee area and surrounding counties, drawing from over 115 parochial, private, and public schools throughout southeastern Wisconsin. Non-Catholic student enrollment was 10%. Student of color enrollment was 19%. Financial aid and work study grants are available. As of 2018, there were 687 girls enrolled, coming from over 116 parochial, private, and public schools. Around 25% of the student body identified themselves as students of color. Non-catholic enrollment was 17%.
