Our graduates go on to do great things
For 30 years, we have watched graduates go on to their mainstream schools, attend college, continue with their education, get jobs – and even go to the Deaflympics! Alumni keep in touch with us and with each other, and many return to Child’s Voice to visit, volunteer, teach, and guide the organization on our Board of Directors. Read how Mia, class of 2015, is taking a leadership role on her school's rowing team.
Alumni Resources
We have created Google classrooms on preparing for college, transitional times, playing sports, and more to help families get ready for life after Child's Voice.

Meet up on Facebook
The Child’s Voice School Alumni Facebook page is a closed, moderated group where alumni can connect with former classmates and share stories and experiences as people with hearing loss.
Sharing their stories, sharing their time
Over the last 30 years, alumni have progressed from elementary to high school, into college, and now into the workforce. Child’s Voice’s friends and supporters love to hear from graduates as speakers at events or meetings. Alumni are also volunteers at events and share advice during seminars and gatherings. We look forward to more alumni taking leadership roles on our committees and boards. After all, we know what they are capable of!
