category at theFIRST® LEGO®League (FLL)

roboticschampionship,

with thehighest score inthe league’s 15-

year history.

As I see the new LIFE LearningActivity Center and residentialcottages take shape on campus, Iam reminded of how The MarylandSchool for The Blind (MSB) has trulybeen shaped by that innatelyhuman desire to constantly improveand seek “higher ground.”

MSB opened in 1853. Today it serves73% of the 1800 studentsthroughout the state who are blindor visually impaired. However, it isthe 160 years in between and thestrong tradition of seekingcontinuous improvement that hassharpened our resolve and positionsus well for future growth.

Our story has always been one ofstudents, staff and the school itselfbeing confronted with challengesand everyone rising to overcomethem. It is one of constantly movingto even greater heights andaccomplishments. Our challengeshave served to spur us on further,becoming even more determined tosucceed.

Several years ago the Board ofDirectors approved the “MSB Schoolof the Future” campus master planto replace and upgrade our agingcampus buildings, many of whichwere unsuitable programmatically.With both satisfaction and gratitudewe are proud that the first phase ofthis project is now well underway.

I am deeply grateful to our donors,the Governor, the General Assembly,the Maryland State Department ofEducation and the entire MarylandSchool for the Blind community for

making this commitment to thefuture for generations of youngpeople who every day seek theirown unique highest ground.

In the pages that follow, you willmeet our most recent graduates.These young women and men haveexceeded expectations in theirjourney to realize their truepotential. Their smiles and pride intheir accomplishments put a face onour mission and remind us of howvaluable our services are. Yet, like ourstudents, we all must continuouslyseek to improve.

Sincerely

Michael J. Bina, Ed. D.President

Message from the President

The Maryland School for the Blind(MSB) is justly proud of its past. Nowit can be equally confident in itsfuture.

The first phase of our masterconstruction and renovation plan isunderway, which is especiallygratifying. As I watch the new LIFELearning Activity Center andresidential cottages rise from theground, I am filled with appreciationfor all of those who have worked sohard to make this project a reality.

Four years ago, Dr. Bina, othermembers of the Board of Directorsand I met to discuss the school’simmediate and long-term needs. Werecognized that a major upgrade infacilities was long overdue. Our half-century and older buildings werecontinuing to age and, in theprocess, were creating problems forour students and staff.

The major challenge was funding. Tothat end, the Governor, our donors,parents, friends and legislators inAnnapolis have visiblydemonstrated their unwaveringsupport. We are grateful to the Stateof Maryland and to everyone whoinvested in the school’s future andthe future of thousands ofMaryland young people who areblind or visually impaired. Thankyou.

Sincerely

Message from the Chairman of the Board

For Jessica Woods, it’s hard to singleout a favorite memory of her tenyears at The Maryland School for theBlind (MSB). “I actually likedeverything,” she affirms, and thatcovers an impressively long list ofinterests and activities.

In addition to participating in MSB’spopular drama productions,including The Jungle Book, MaryPoppins and Annie, she also lovedsinging in the choir, being on thecheerleading squad for nine yearsand taking part in the JohnsHopkins Art program where sheworked on her own arts and crafts.And, as if her days weren’t fullenough, she served as the Secretaryfor the Senior Class during her finalyear.

“Senior year was great,” she adds,“especially the Prom, and there wasalways something to do with

friends living on campus during theweek. We went on a ski trip too.”

Described by her teachers as “a wizwith technology,” Jessica hasexceptional skills in using a VoiceNotetaker and JAWS screen readingtechnology to access computers.She also knows how to access theinternet through a mobile hotspot.With no vision other than minimumlight perception, she also knowshow to use the Kurzweil text-to-speech reader software, which shefound very helpful in her classes.

“It took a long time for Jessica, butshe really has become quiteproficient at braille and withcomputers. The one-on-oneteaching really made a difference atMSB,” notes her father, Thomas.According to Yvette, Jessica’smother, she loved the staff andteachers and worked hard to please

MSB is aplace togrow!

them. “They always encouraged herand expected the best out of her. Shestrived to meet those expectationsand exceed them. That’s howeverything is at MSB. They expect kidsto achieve and they do.”

Jessica currently lives at home withher parents and attends classes twodays a week at the ProvidenceCenter in Millersville, Maryland. Thenon-profit organization’s mission isto provide individuals with theinstruction and mentoring theyneed to find employment andbecome as independent as possible.

“I’m taking pottery and horticultureright now,” she notes. “I like themboth.”

According to her father, Jessica lovedthe social life at MSB. She misses thefriends and living on campus even

now, but is also ready to fullyintegrate in her home community.

Asked about her plans for thefuture, she doesn’t hesitate with ananswer. “I really want to find a job,”she states, “a job that pays.” WithJessica’s determination thatshouldn’t take too long at all. Heryears at MSB saw her constantlyworking to reach a higher groundand she did. There’s every reason tobelieve that the same thing will betrue in the years to come.

With courage anddetermination,independenceshines through!

When Taylor Williams first learnedthat he was going to The MarylandSchool for the Blind (MSB), heresisted.

“Taylor was 12 years old at the time,and he still had some vision,”remembers his mother, Beverly. “Hesaid that it was a school for the blindand he wasn’t blind. So we told him, ifyou attend MSB for two weeks andreally don’t like it, we would put youback in public school. The first day hecalled me and said that MSB was ‘thebomb’. They had a track team and hehad already joined it. Could we pickhim up later in the afternoon thenext day? He had practice.”

Taylor has an endless number ofmemories about his seven “great”years at MSB, and no wonder. Thepopular 2013 graduate sang in thechoir, played drums with thepercussion ensemble and had roles in

The Lion King, The Little Mermaid,The Jungle Book, The Music Man,Mary Poppins and Annie. In hisspare time, he was also electedPresident of the Senior Class andcrowned Prom King.

“I really enjoyed school,” he declares. “Imade so many friends, had greatteachers who made it fun to learnand I was on the track team. I likedtrack a lot and loved competing withother schools when we went to WestVirginia and Massachusetts.”

As Taylor readily admits, his passionsare science and working withanimals. He won first place in theschool science fair and regularlyvolunteered at the Humane Societyin Harford County as part of MSB’scareer education program. “Iremember one German Shepherdthat had to be 180 pounds,” he adds.

Reaching thehighest ground!

“He actually shook his pen wheneverhe stood up.”

“We really felt like we were part ofthe community there,” says his father,Thomas. “The school was a big helpfor Taylor, who has no vision now, anda big help for us too.” Beverly, Taylor’smom, was elected as president of thePTSO (Parent, Teacher, StaffOrganization).

Living with his parents in theirBaltimore County home, Taylor hasbeen working with severalorganizations to help find full-timeemployment, possibly in acommunity theater or with anorganization helping animals. He isalso looking into continuing hisstudies at Harford CommunityCollege and several other areaschools. “I would really like to learnmore in areas like biology, astronomyor engineering,” he states.

Taylor feels the skills he learned atMSB will help him in the future.These include traveling, long caneuse, employment skills, solvingeveryday math problems, braille,shopping and cooking. He is alsolooking forward to seeing his friendsat MSB’s annual alumni events.

“Taylor would not be where he istoday if it weren’t for MSB,” affirmshis mother. “The school made thestudents see and believe in thepossibilities that were out there inthe world for them. He lovedeverything about his experience atMSB, and he told me he wants to bean active alumni.”
