Learn about the PJR Center and School
PRC is the only public school in the country providing services exclusively to deaf-blind children and youth. The school continues to be committed to providing education, therapy and support services to its students, so they develop their maximum level of independence. The Philip J. Rock Center and School is well respected nationally. It is "in step" with the state Learning Standards and utilizes evidence-based practices and continues to change with the times. Even though the incidence of Rubella has decreased, students learning with deaf-blindness due to a variety of conditions continue to need specialized services. PRC will continue to change with the times and provide innovative, evidence-based best practices.
Together for Independence
The Philip J. Rock Center and School is more than a facility; it is an extended family to parents and their children who live with both hearing and vision disabilities. Our devoted staff accompany the kids throughout the day, constantly working toward the goal of helping each student live as independently as possible according to their personal abilities. The shared vision of "Together for Independence" makes this a reality.
