History of Deaf Idaho Redskins

History of Deaf Idaho Redskins History of Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind (ISSDB/ISDB) Share your memories of your school experience. The mascot "Redskins" have been retired.

We respect the Native Americans (reason for removal of Redskins name). The memories remain in our minds and hearts. New mascot is now Raptors (after 1990 - pending date verification). The Idaho School for the Deaf and the Blind (ISDB) was first established in 1906 in Boise, Idaho, and operated there until it burned down on December 8, 1908. The Idaho Legislature passed an act on March 16, 1909 est

ablishing a permanent state school. Governor Frank Gooding donated land for the ISDB so it was moved to Gooding and started accepting students in September 1910. Most old buildings are demolished to build a new buildings at Gooding campus after the 1983 Borah Peak earthquake. There are still old buildings standing. There is a museum on site about ISDB's old history.

This is Peggy: Janette and I went to ISDB museum 2 weeks ago and took picture. This was Melanie Oxley's art work, she started when she was about 20 years old or older. After she passed away her boyfriend Jack wanted to save them so gave to Jerry Wilding for the museum. Melanie did really wonderful work. The 2nd photo I took pic alone and you could see Melanie did used color pencils and made dots to create a picture. PLEASE do click on each photo, the first you need to see more on the top.
