Our Mission Statement

Our mission at St. Joseph’s School for the Deaf is to provide a high-quality, accessible Bilingual education in American Sign Language, English, and an Auditory Oral pathway to foster literacy, critical thinking, and personal independence in each student. Through purposeful, equitable, and engaging learning experiences, we empower our students to develop a strong Deaf identity, achieve academic and social excellence, and become confident, self-reliant lifelong learners.

Celebrating over 150 Years!
