Sound was a barrier that deaf and hard-of-hearing students could not break with fellow classmates until now. Starting in the Fall 2011 school year, two sections of American Sign Language will be taught.
“I think it’s a wonderful opportunity since we’re a deaf and hard of hearing center,” guidance counselor Michelle Cortes said. “It can’t do anything but help. Right now the DHH students can only communicate with the other DHH students and I think it willl make high school a better experience for them.”
The course is currently full, but if a student would like to take the course they may make an appointment to speak with their counselor about it.
