Kentucky School For The Deaf

The school's creation was that of General Elias Barbee , whose daughter, Lucy, was deaf. Barbee introduced a bill to the Kentucky Assembly , placing it in Danville in the hands of the Centre College Board of Trustees. John Adamson Jacobs became principal of KSD in 1825. The school has since had 14 superintendents, and today is directed by Dr. Harvey Jay Corson .
