Rochester School for the Deaf

The faculty, staff, Board, families, alumni, and volunteers of RSD are dedicated and committed to providing:
- Resources to enable students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing to develop and achieve their highest level of academic and technical skills;
- Resources for faculty, staff and students to become fluent communicators in both English and American Sign Language by faculty and staff that are likewise fluent; and
- An environment that is caring, compassionate, and sensitive to the needs of the individual student, in which each will learn to become a participating and contributing member of society;
Opportunities to involve and utilize RSD's most vital resources - the faculty, staff, families and volunteers - to serve as a viable resource center for the community-at-large.
