Is the name Deaf and Blind High school a positive name for a school

[Janetspeer]

I am a retired teacher. I was at a high school track meet and they were announcing the scores. Over and over I heard the score for the deaf and blind school. It was jarring for me and I couldn’t figure out why. I taught at a school for the physically impaired but that was not the name of the school. I also worked at a school for students who were emotionally handicapped or had severe behaviour problems but that was not the name of their school. I grew up in Little Rock AR and lived close to the Deaf and Blind School - I grew up hearing the name of the school but now for some reason it doesn’t fit how we talk about people. Help me understand if I am off base.
