School Overview

The Deaf/Hard of Hearing program within Township High School District 214 is a specialized educational service based at Arlington Heights High School. Designed to support students with hearing impairments, the program focuses on providing an inclusive environment that balances academic rigor with essential accessibility services. It serves as a centralized hub for students across the district, ensuring that those who are deaf or hard of hearing have equitable access to the full high school experience, including core curriculum, extracurricular activities, and social integration.

The program is structured to provide individualized support, which may include the use of sign language interpreters, classroom amplification systems, and consultative services from specialized staff such as teachers of the deaf and audiologists. By collaborating with general education faculty, the staff works to foster a supportive learning atmosphere that promotes communication autonomy and academic success. This model allows students to remain in a comprehensive public high school setting while receiving the tailored accommodations necessary to meet their unique communicative and educational needs.
