Briefing of Austine School
The name of the school "Austine" was named after Colonel William Austine who was a retired army officer. He opened the school for the Deaf & Blind students in the Fall of 1912 in Brattleboro, VT.
Holton Hall is the orginial building (now a historic landmark) was used for homes to students who lived far away from home. When the student population increased they had to build more facilities.
Austine School is now known for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing. Now Austine School is under Vermont Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing for more services such as consultant services for mainstreamed students, several regional classrooms, parent-infant program, family mentoring program, adult service, and several other support options. Vermont Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing provides an array of quality services to Deaf and hard of hearing children, youth and adults statewide.
More pictures will be posted whenever I find the battery charger for my digital camera.

TEARING MY EYES AND WAVING BY HANDS!!! haha taptaptap
hey, mofo! whazzup?!?
My G.G.G Grandfather donated 50,000 to open a school for the "handicap" unfortunate back then, and in 1914 it changed to a school for the deaf.
He graduated from West Point before Ulysses Grant, and fought in the Mexican War, he was quite the man, who says Colonels don't have a heart.
Enjoy the State and make it your own, but do not become a tree hugging liberal fanatic, it is ruining this state, believe it or not.
Our small farms are disappearing, 14 this year already. Love the State, love the Native Vermonters, we've been here for hundreds of years!
Cheers!
K.D Austin
