Inspire Future Generations

“I am a Senior at SMSD.  I have better access to communication here.  I can play sports here.  At a hearing school, I may not be able to play because of communication issues. I have peers I can sign with, access to activities like drama, building trades, journalism, and work experience opportunities.  If I was at a public school, the lack of communication would prevent me from being able to do any of these things.” 

Saul, High School Student

“St. Mary’s School for the Deaf has been a large part of our lives.  It is an incredible institution that provides everything needed to be successful.  Our daughter Julia attended SMSD from Pre-K to Graduation.  SMSD opened doors and provided opportunities that she would not get in mainstream environment.  The dedicated staff are amazing and work very hard to obtain the best from each student.  Julia graduated as Valedictorian and is in the honors program as a sophomore at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. SMSD is more than a school, it is a family.  A family we are very proud to be a part of.”
