About this organization
Mission
The Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf (WPSD) provides the highest quality educational programs and services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students of all ages, their families and others who may benefit. WPSD maintains an accessible communication climate. All staff and students interact freely without language barriers. Students participate fully in every aspect of campus life. WPSD has specially trained teachers and staff who provide high-quality instruction. In a caring, yet challenging environment, students have the opportunity to reach their highest potential academically, socially and personally. Together with their families, WPSD encourages students to become independent and self-supporting. The agency's responsibility is: Preparing Students. For Life. Vision: WPSD provides a total learning environment for children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. Students achieve at the same levels as other children in our society. Students reach their highest potential in academics and citizenship. Students achieve independence, positive self-esteem, high personal aspirations and pride. As part of strategic planning, WPSD has made a commitment to ensuring that its students are well positioned to succeed following graduation. For WPSD, ""Preparing Students. For Life"" is more than a marketing tagline—it's the focus.
