What Our Students Say:

"Governor Livingston has a great program for deaf and hard of hearing students. Since many of the hearing students know how to sign, the deaf, hard of hearing and hearing students all hang out together. This school offers a very good education that is challenging, but not impossible. There are also a lot of sports and clubs that students can join. I am very happy here. I feel as though I have really improved academically and I have made many good friends. Governor Livingston has been a wonderful experience for me."

"I enjoy being at GL because I am able to communicate with the hearing and DHH students. Not only can I communicate with the students: there are many teachers, coaches and staff members who also try to learn ASL so that school will be a more enjoyable environment for everyone. GL has a lot of activities and gives the DHH a great opportunity to succeed when we graduate."

"I like going to school here because everyone helps you with things you need. You can have a mixture of friends...hearing and deaf. If you need support, Ms. Manto is the best person you could ask for! You fit in easily. Whatever you need for extra help, you just need to ask, whether it's an FM system or interpreter...they'll get it for you. And the ASL class helps you connect with the whole world."

Foundations for Success:

  • Encourage and Develop Each Student's Talents and Interests:

    • We strive to foster a sense of personal self-worth and achievement. We utilize a combination of school, community, and nationally based organizations to showcase these talents.

  • Participation and Inclusion:

    • Students are encouraged to participate in anything that GLHS offers. There are various clubs, athletics, programs, and theatrical productions. A few of the clubs that are offered are: the Sign Language Club, GL Deaf Highlander Club, and the D/HH Enrichment Organization. These clubs serve to promote the cultural aspects of deafness that support a strong deaf peer group.

  • Community:

    • Governor Livingston's community is welcoming to all.

      In addition, our program provides valuable opportunities for students who are deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing to interact with each other daily, thereby ensuring that each student attending Governor Livingston is proud to be known as a Highlander.
