Extracurricular Activities

​The ASL Club and Jr. IAD offer students, both hearing and deaf, the opportunity to socialize, help hearing students improve their ASL skills, expose Deaf and Hard of Hearing students to ASL and Deaf culture, and expose other Hinsdale South students to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community.

​Deaf Academic Bowl is a competitive team that challenges other Deaf teams in tournament play by answering questions in various academic subjects and current news. For several years, the team has competed at the national tournament at Gallaudet University in Washington DC, and in 2018, the team competed in the sectional and regional competition.  Each year, students compete for a place on the competitive team with the top students chosen to represent the program.
Special Olympics - Students compete in basketball, track, soccer, and swimming.  The Hinsdale South Special Olympics basketball team consistently competes in the state tournament.  Special Olympics soccer also competes in the state series, and many students on the track team win gold medals each year.

High School Sports/Activities - Deaf and Hard of Hearing students are able to participate in all sports and activities offered at Hinsdale South.  Students attend homecoming, prom, pep rallies, student variety shows, spirit week, and a variety of other school events.  They are also involved in sports such as: swimming, football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, wrestling, cross country, track, gymnastics, badminton, and cheerleading teams.  Interpreters are provided for all sports and events. 

Deaf Drama presents two performance each year with a fall and spring production.  Students tryout for the roles and rehearse several times each week until the day of the show.  The play is preformed in ASL with voice interpreters for those who are not fluent in the language.  The students also work as stage managers, make-up artists, prop managers, and assist with publicity.
