Introduction

Clarke School for the Deaf was founded in 1867 in Northampton, Massachusetts as the first permanent oral school for the deaf in the United States and has gained an international reputation as a pioneer and a leader in the field of auditory/oral education. Clarke School was not only the first school to teach children with hearing loss to speak in the United States, but also the first to initiate education in the early years and the first to recognize the importance of students entering mainstream classrooms. Clarke School also was the first to train teachers in auditory/oral education and in 1962 enhanced the Teacher Education Program by partnering with Smith College where graduates can earn a Masters of Education of the Deaf. The school has been fortunate in having outstanding leadership to determine its programs and policies. Alexander Graham Bell, President Calvin Coolidge, and First Lady Grace Coolidge served on Clarke’s Board of Trustees.

Big Changes at Clarke School (650 words)
In 2004, a large house owned by the school at 83 Bancroft Road with an assessed value of $230,000 was sold by the school to Robert Jonas and Margaret Bullitt of Ashfield for $675,000 and is currently being remodeled by Wright Builders.
Other Clarke School properties that are being considered for possible sale are 84A Round Hill Road, which is situated next to Yale House, and structures at 32 and 38 Round Hill Road that occupy a large tract that extends all the way from Round Hill Road to the rear of residential properties on Langworthy Road.
But now the school is dealing with new technological changes: improved screening that enables doctors and parents to identify a deaf child at birth, and cochlear implants that enable deaf people to overcome the effects of nerve-deafness.
