Jr. NAD

The Junior National Association for the Deaf "Jr. NAD" is a group of students that are committed to becomming the Deaf leaders of tomorrow. This fine group of high school boys and girls meet monthly, under the guidance of Mrs. Patricia Tadak and Mr. Sean Maloney, to discuss ways of improving their school and community. Every year, a select group of students from our school goes to the national Jr. NAD convention for several days of meetings and camaraderie.

Mission Statement for Jr. NAD

The mission of the National Association of the Deaf is to promote, protect, and preserve the rights and quality of life of deaf and hard of hearing individuals in the United States of America.


Students & Advisor Attend Conference in Arizona

The trip to Tucson, Arizona was a GREAT experience for me. I went with Sean Maloney (Advisor) and Alex Dailey (Delegate). We attended several workshops on leadership, cyber bullying, time management, cultural differences and many others. But it wasn’t all work and no play!! We had so much fun going to a Haunted House, visiting a Desert Museum, doing, and watching a pageant, and socializing with other delegates from 28 deaf schools nationwide. We came home with several new friends’ emails and phone numbers. Alex and I would most definitely do this trip over again and not change a thing!! We want to say Big Thank You to Sean Maloney for take care of us to the trip!!  We brought great rich experience to share with our school.
