The Western Pennsylvania School For The Deaf

WPSD Freshmen Environmental Science students took a trip to Frick Park on Wednesday, just one mile from school, to test the water quality of the creek. The creek has been so dry lately, but luckily for us it poured in the morning, allowing the students to get water samples to test. Each student worked hard and our teacher from Allegheny College told them they were an excellent group of focused learners who work so well together helping each other and problem solving. Thank you Creek Connections for this awesome hands-on educational experience. We are #wpsdproud! ---Erin Mascaro, High School Teacher

The Scranton School middle school Esports team participated in its very first Rocket League match against William Annin Middle School (NJ). The bears battled h...ard losing five games to none (0-5). This season our Esports team will be going up against middle schools in the Garden State Esports league.

On this Veterans Day, and every day, the students and staff at WPSD are forever grateful for the courage, sacrifice and dedication of all who serve. We want to express our deepest appreciation to the men and women, past and present, in the United States Armed Services. We salute you!
