Missouri School for the Deaf
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Missouri School for the Deaf (MSD) is a school in Fulton, Missouri, that has served deaf and hard-of-hearing students in the state since 1851.[1]
It has grades K-12 and serves students aged 5 to 21.[2] The internal academic divisions are: Stark Elementary School, Wheeler Middle School, and Wheeler High School.
In 1997 its enrollment was about 65 or 70 students, with about 33% having additional disabilities.[3]
Elementary and middle school students are in cottages built in 1997; they are Gannon Cottage, named after Jack R. Gannon; Redden Cottage, after Laura Redden Searing (Howard Glyndon); and Reid Cottage, after teacher William Cooper Reid. Before 1997 they were in Stark Hall's dormitories.[4] High school students are in Kerr Hall, named after MSD founder William Dabney Kerr; and Tate Hall, named after MSD superintendent James Nolley Tate. They have separate sides for female and male students.[5]
