Signing Choir

We visited 2 elementary schools, 3 rest homes, and a special needs center signing Christmas songs to children and adults. It was a lot of fun.

Dr. Bezzant Praises Provo High ASL Program

Dec 05, 2008

Mark Bezzant, the Assistant Vice President at Utah Valley University, visited a Provo High School American Sign Language class to express his desire that all ASL programs across the country be as excellent Provo High School’s. Bezzant said the Provo ASL students can be streamlined right into college-level courses and pick up right where they left off in Provo High. The education given them at Provo makes it easy for them to succeed and progress, he said. "This school and class provides a quality of ASL instruction that is a model to the rest of the nation," Bezzant said.

Provo High School offers four levels of ASL instruction, including receiving some college-level instruction when reaching the fourth level. Audrey Bastian, the ASL teacher at Provo High, said her students work extremely hard to master the vocabulary and is thrilled they can continue their ASL instruction at higher levels. "I’m really excited that UVU wants these students and is willing to take them even further in their ASL," she said. "It is a great opportunity for them to continue studying a skill that is in such high demand."
