Welcome to Our Shared History 

For nearly two centuries, the Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind has been a home for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Blind, and Visually Impaired students to learn, grow, and lead. This page honors the students, families, educators, staff, and alumni who built our community, preserved our languages and cultures, and opened doors for the next generation.

 

As the VSDB Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO), we honor the educators who paved the way, the alumni who carry our tradition forward, and the families who trust us with their children's futures. Explore our history below, celebrate our historic figures, and discover how our past continues to shape a bright, accessible future.
