Welcome to American Sign Language! I teach American Sign Language 1 & 2, as well as sponsor ASL Club and ASL Honor Society. I am a SFA Lumberjack, passionate about ASL and Deaf culture, and I love teaching here at Jasper High School! It’s my sincere hope that a true appreciation is gained for such a beautiful language and culture. Go Jasper Jags!

American Sign Language (ASL) is an integration of expressive and receptive skills with emphasis on fingerspelling, numbers, glossing, signs, phrases and sentences at the beginning level.  Please note that ASL is NOT English. The Deaf have their own culture, and their language has its own syntax, grammar, and rules. This course will provide students with information on general usage of signs and grammatical structure for simple and complex sentences, as well as introduce them to the culture of the Deaf.
