Some ideas how you can help make this reunion a success
The North Dakota Association of the Deaf partners with the North Dakota School for the Deaf/Resource Center (NDSD/RC) to host an alumni reunion every five years at the school campus in Devils Lake, ND. The summer of 2025 is the 135th Anniversary of graduating classes. The most recent reunion was held in 2015, ten years ago, due to COVID-19 in 2020.
Fond memories of our high school days and reunions are special for most people. This is especially true for those of us who attended and/or graduated from a Deaf residential school. These schools are second homes to us. It’s the place where we were accepted, welcomed and encouraged to be Deaf.
The Latest from the Reunion Committee: The 2025 NDSD/Bulldogs reunion is planned for Thursday, July 10 to Sunday, July 13, 2025. There will be an “Open House” for former staff and other visitors on Saturday, July 12 from 12:00 p.m. to 2 p.m. if anyone wants to stop by and greet former staff and alumni.
