Mission
Statement
Lake Drive has a distinguished history of excellence and has always been in
the forefront of innovative programming in deaf education, beginning nearly
thirty-six years ago. As we move into the twenty-first century, we continue
to meet the changing and varied needs of children with hearing loss. We will
meet these needs with the same commitment to quality that has always been
exhibited. Lake Drive continues to build upon its foundation of quality and
strengths. Our highly trained staff supports our children in achieving and
experiencing positive outcomes across all areas of programming.
