Career and Technical Education: Connecting Through American Sign Language (ASL)

Matthew Simmons speaking with a student using American Sign Language

At Skyline High School and across the district, students are discovering the power of American Sign Language. 🤟✨ Taught by Deaf educator Matthew Simmons, Skyline’s ASL class helps students "hear with their eyes" while learning both the language and Deaf culture. Students share how ASL has built their confidence, deepened their understanding, and helped them connect with their community in new ways.  With ASL bridging Career & Technical Education and foreign language studies, students gain valuable skills that can serve them throughout their lives.
