SJI Alumni: Using their Voice
 
“I felt confident leaving SJI and starting high school because the teachers prepared me academically for the next step. I will never forget the love and support I experienced while I was at SJI.”
A former student
 
“I attended St. Joe’s from second grade until fifth grade. My education there provided me the communication skills integral to my later academic and professional pursuits…I have encouraged individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to be involved in public service.”
Michael Tecklenburg
Policy Advisor for Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) in 2007
Former president of the Alexander Graham Bell Association
for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
 
“All my needs in terms of speech, language development and auditory skills were addressed by the faculty and staff prepared me for mainstreaming to public school…Refuse to accept the limitations others think they can place on you and set goals for yourself that you know you can achieve.”
Noelle Perese (’92)
Legislative Correspondent for Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) 2007
