Sister Virginia Honish, SDS, principal of Divine Savior Holy Angels High School in Milwaukee was honored by members of her home parish, St. Robert's. The theme of the award was "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little extra." Sister Virginia has been known for that "extra" in her beginning teaching, her work as Principal of St. Pius X Grade School in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, her leadership of the Sisters of the Divine Savior North American Province, and her energy in advancing Divine Savior Holy Angels High School as Principal. The Administrative Headquarters of the Sisters of the Divine Savior adjoins DSHA High School, in a way that is very symbolic: the Sisters of the Divine Savior are deeply committed to the education and support of women throughout the world. Sister Virginia says, "Our mission is to prepare young women for the opportunities and challenges of their lives with an emphasis on the development of the whole person. I have a unique opportunity to work with teachers, parents, students and staff to live the DSHA mission. By challenging our girls academically, spiritually, and socially, we know they will have the values, skills, and tools to become leaders and women of faith." |
