Our halls are buzzing with excitement as our staff prepares for the return of our War Eagles! 🎉 Charter buses are already on the road picking up our dorm students, and more than a few of us got teary-eyed watching them roll out with our dorm staff aboard—proof that our hearts are all in for our students. 💚

Our teachers and staff have been working tirelessly to make sure everything is ready, and we can’t wait for our students to see what we’ve prepared for them.

Welcome back, War Eagles! Let’s have a fantastic year! 🦅

Secondary students sit smiling around white trapezoid tables in a bright, colorful area at the Louisiana School for the Deaf. Bold white and green text over the image reads “WELCOME BACK WAR EAGLES!”

🛠✨ Behind the scenes this summer, something amazing has been happening at LSD — and it's all thanks to the incredible teamwork of our volunteers, I.T. crew, and operations team!

📚 Our volunteers have gone above and beyond organizing the elementary, middle, and high school book rooms, refreshing our libraries and clothes closet, prepping celebration materials, and even helping repaint areas across campus. (Big thanks to Coca-Cola for rolling up their sleeves and to SER for donating paint!)

💻 Our I.T. team just wrapped up installation of our new emergency alert system — fully accessible for Deaf students and audible for all other visitors in secondary. 👏👏

🧹 And our operations team? They’ve been deep-cleaning, waxing, painting, replacing floors and lights — doing everything it takes to make sure our campus is safe, shining, and ready for day one. 💪

🦅 We’re so proud of this work and the people behind it. Help us say THANK YOU by dropping a 💚 in the comments or sharing this post to spread the love.

A graphic from the Louisiana School for the Deaf thanking volunteers, I.T., and operations staff. The text in the center reads, “Thank you, Volunteers, I.T., & Operations — The War Eagles Appreciate You!” with “Louisiana School for the Deaf” at the bottom. Surrounding the text are six photos: a digital wall clock, a worker on a lift installing equipment, new curtains in a school room, a row of lockers, volunteers painting a hallway, and a smiling staff member standing in front of a school wall. The background is green with a white torn-paper effect and an illustrated eagle mascot in the top right corner.

A heartfelt thank you to Quota Baton Rouge for their generous donation of library organization materials and their partnership in helping us update the flooring in our elementary library! Your support plays a vital role in creating a welcoming and engaging space for our students as we kick off the new school year. We are so grateful for your continued commitment to our students! 💚🦅
