Beyond academics, CSDR places a strong emphasis on extracurricular engagement, offering a wide range of sports, leadership clubs, and arts programs that allow students to develop confidence and self-advocacy skills. The school serves as a hub for the Inland Empire’s deaf community, hosting various events and outreach services that promote awareness and accessibility.
