The Louisiana School for the Deaf is a school for deaf and hard-of-hearing students in Louisiana located in Baton Rouge. It was established in 1852.
The old "Baton Rouge College" was the first house used as the State School for the Deaf in Louisiana. The school opened on December 8, 1852, with eleven pupils in attendance. It was located on the northwest corner of the former grounds of the Institute for the Deaf which were purchased by the State in 1852.
The mission of the Louisiana School for the Deaf is:
- To enhance the academic, vocational, physical, emotional, social and cultural development of each student.
- To provide a visually accessible, positive and nurturing environment that emphasizes literacy and effective communication skills.
- To be a caring community where students can achieve personal excellence and become independent lifelong learners.
