The Wyoming School for the Deaf was a school for deaf elementary students located Casper, Wyoming in the United States. The school was open from 1961 until it was closed due to lack of students in 2000. The school was created to accommodate the concerns of parents who did not want to send their children to schools in other states. Early pilot programs were conducted, and in 1959, a house was purchased across from local Pineview Elementary school and used to house the program. In 1961, the state legislature appropriated more funds for the program, and a permanent school was built and dedicated in 1963.
The school was closed in 2000 with only one student enrolled. In 2007, the Natrona County School District announced that they would be tearing down the building, which resulted in an outcry from alumni of the school, who want to see the building preserved[1].
As of 2011: the building is still standing. The original portion of the building is used as a library and resource center for the deaf/hard-of-hearing and visually impaired, with various services provided. There has been no money available to tear down the old building and rebuild for Pineview Elementary School.
