I think you mean “deaf” here rather than “dead”.
I knew Gallaudet was a great educational institution, but until this post, I did not realize how great. They are able to teach the dead! That is impressive. The dead are one of the hardest groups to teach in a traditional school. Teachers and other students just do not know how to reach out and interact with their dead classmates. The fact that Gallaudet has been able to create a classroom environment where the dead can learn and develop the social skills needed later in death is a great triumph, and I approve of the work they are doing.
Fixed!
please kindly do not assume that “one of the hardest groups to teach in a traditional school.” Not hard, but most ignorant groups to teach is a better phrase. St. Louis is still known to neglect in promote sign language unlike Missouri School for the Deaf of Fulton. By the way, why use word ‘dead’ when word is ‘deaf’?
The “dead” references refer to a typo in the original publication of this post.
I had a high school service project here during its final year of operation. The school had a good deal of original architectural detail remaining, including green-glazed bricks in the staircase and as trim in the hallways, a large auditorium, a beautiful staircase with some Gothic detail (and the windows on the second story landing were tinted yellow, which looked really pretty with the sun shining through them), a fallout shelter sign, and some original stalls in the bathrooms (wood or marble). Helen Keller visited here, supposedly. I was sad to see it close. The dead were too.
I taught at Gallaudet School for the Deaf in St. Louis from 1967-2002.
We had a wondwrful and dedicated staff
of professionals. Students were given academic instructions in all major subjects, as well as art, dance, music, p.e., industral arts.
We still are not sure why the board of education closed the school.in 2012.
It was a marvelous school.

Hello Joyce! Do you remember a student by the name of Sandra Woods attending the school
I am sorry. I am not certain that I know Sandra Woods, although the name sounds familiar.

You may help me with Gallaudet School in St. Louis, MO, where you taught. I want to find the information on that biography as well photos of Superindent and its timeline where they founded by Deaf Founder, James A. Simpson. I wonder if you know the person who has these archives. I’ve researched this issue for our book, Deaf History Almanac. I want to print Gallaudet School by Deaf Founder. Also, I would like to know any information that will help me write down the history that won’t be forgotten by anyone who reads the book.
Hello, again. Sorry it is not James, it is Delos A. Simpson. Please accept my apology for misunderstanding on my part.
Thanks.
Hello, Joyce.
I’d like to follow up with my reqeust few days ago, regarding to your school where you taught for some years there. I’d like to know where can I find the person who handles the historical of Gallaudet School for the Deaf. Also I have this link, St Louis Patina website where I found the Deaf Founder had been founded this school so where I need to work with someone who has those files relates to this school.
Thank you
My brother had a friend that attended Galludet school on grand . Mueller was the students name. He was enrolled circa 1958.
I am trying to find our friend.
Can you help?
