Athletics

The DSHA Athletic Department values athletic excellence, teamwork, leadership, service to others, and sportsmanship. DSHA has earned a competitive reputation in the state of Wisconsin with a number of championships across 15 varsity sports. This includes 10 National Championships, 2 WIARA State Ski Championships, 27 WISAA and WIAA State Championships, 18 Wisconsin state Rugby championships, 17 WISAA and WIAA State Runner-Up Trophies, 45 WIAA Sectional Championships, 13 WIAA Sectional Runner-Up and 67 WIAA Regional Championships since 2001.

Equally proud of our eight non-cut sports, students of all experience and ability levels are encouraged to compete. Over 65% of the student body participates in interscholastic sports. Our outstanding coaching staff works diligently to give student-athletes a quality experience, teaching them not only how to perform in their sport of choice, but how to excel as both leaders and team members.
DSHA is the first school in Wisconsin to earn Level 1 and Level 3 status within the National Federation of State High School Associations’ School Honor Roll Program. This honor recognizes the school and coaches’ dedication to their students’ athletic experiences and professional development.
