The popularity of our American Sign Language classes has created an understanding of deafness and a fluency with ASL that has promoted lasting friendships between hearing and deaf students.

• GLHS proud to offer three years of ASL as a World Language.

• Classes are open to all students: deaf, hearing and hard of hearing.

• Coursework allows students to understand the grammar, syntax and history of the language.

The American Sign Language club focuses on cooperation, friendship, information exchange, involvement, tolerance towards others and leadership skills.

Members participate in varied activities such as silent lunches, social events/celebrations, signing & yoga, game days, fundraisers and participation in a new partnership with Kean University's ASL classes. Skills and experiences obtained by club members during these meetings/events enable them to practice their signing skills and promotes a fusion between deaf and hearing students. The ASL club is open to all students. You do not need to take ASL to be a member of the club. We meet monthly during lunch time to socialize and plan events. 

ASL Honor Society

American Sign Language students may also participate in the national ASL Honor Society.  This program was established in 2006 as a means to encourage and recognize those who have achieved a high level of academic success in their American Sign Language studies.
