Later Years
In the 1970s, George Propp, a school faculty member, examined the spending practices of the school and predicted the school's coming financial difficulties. Discussing the current concepts of Deaf education, Propp stated that Deaf schools "will require a massive application of the resources that exist, as well as the development of technology that lies beyond our present dreams".
In the 1990s the school was the location of an innovative program that engaged high school students as storytellers with primary grade students at the school. The younger children became more involved with literature and the older students learned to select appropriate stories, prepare for storytelling, and select the appropriate communication mode.
