American Sign Language is much more than a collection of hand signs - it is the language of a vibrant and diverse community with its own history, traditions, values, and cultural identity. 

Learning ASL means learning to communicate respectfully while gaining an appreciation for the experiences, achievements, and contributions of Deaf individuals throughout history. As students progress through their ASL journey, they will discover that language and culture go hand in hand. 

This section of our website is designed to introduce students, families, and visitors to the rich heritage of the Deaf community. Whether you are just beginning to learn ASL or are continuing your studies, we hope these resources help deepen your understanding and appreciation of Deaf culture.
