On May 8, 2009, Education Secretary Gerald L. Zahorchak made the following announcement, “Starting with the 2009-10 school year, the acclaimed Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf will begin providing education to deaf and hard of hearing students…” which meant that for the first time in the 130 year history of deaf education in northeast Pennsylvania a private, non-profit school would serve deaf and hard of hearing students.
The new school was named The Scranton School for Deaf & Hard of Hearing Children. This name change incorporated the most significant difference between the former school and the new school: the addition of “Hard of Hearing.”
Scranton School for Deaf & Hard of Hearing is a private school located in SOUTH ABINGTON TWP, PA. It has 55 students in grades PK, K-12.
