Happy International Women's Day
As we celebrate International Womens Day on March 8th, we take this opportunity to honor five outstanding Eastern Schools for the Deaf Athletic Association (ESDAA) women athletic directors throughout the 2024-2025 school year. Their exemplary leadership plays a vital role in the success of our student-athletes, coaches, administration, athletic trainers, officials, sponsors, and fans.
