FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n

TEXAS SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF MOURNS THE PASSING OF DR. VICTOR HENRY GALLOWAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Austin, Texas \u2013 January 17, 2013 The Texas School for the Deaf (TSD) is deeply saddened today, joining the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community, as we mourn the passing of a beloved former superintendent, friend and renowned leader in Deaf education, Dr. Victor Henry Galloway – TSD\u2019s first Deaf Superintendent (1981-1986).<\/p>\n

Dr. Galloway passed away peacefully in Austin Wednesday after a long illness. In addition to his numerous accomplishments still today affecting members of the Deaf community, Dr. Galloway played the role of Meryl Streep\u2019s father in the movie \u201cA River Wild\u201d in 1994.<\/p>\n

At ten months old, Galloway lost most of his hearing due to illness with a prolonged fever. Following a successful career as a chemist at the U.S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory, and for Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, Galloway gave his heart, mind, and soul to the field of education so that other Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals could succeed in any path or field. Galloway went on to earn his master\u2019s degree in Educational Administration and Supervision and Adult Education from California State University (Northridge) in 1966, and his doctorate from the University of Arizona in Educational Rehabilitation and Educational Administration in 1972, after completing his undergraduate work at Gallaudet University in Washington D.C., earning his Bachelor of Science degree in 1951. He attended South Carolina\u2019s School for the Deaf and Blind and graduated from Spartanburg (South Carolina) High School in 1947.<\/p>\n

Before his tenure at Texas School for the Deaf, Galloway served as the first Deaf superintendent of the Scranton State School for the Deaf in Pennsylvania (1979-1981), and he was the first Deaf educator in the College of Sciences in 1968 at Rochester Institute of Technology\u2019s (RIT) National Institute for the Deaf (NTID) in New York. While a member of the National Advisory Committee on Education of the Deaf, through the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Galloway was instrumental in establishing the Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD) at Gallaudet University, where he served until 1979. Galloway brought passion and compassion when he came to lead the Texas School for the Deaf, expanding vocational programs so students developed job skills working in local businesses; he advanced TSD\u2019s independent living and skills development programs for special needs students who are Deaf, and established partnerships that created education classes for Deaf adults at Austin Community College.<\/p>\n

In 1982 Galloway\u2019s vision brought today\u2019s Total Communication philosophy to TSD, forming sign language programs for students and families, including bilingual sign language education for Texas\u2019 Hispanic and Latino families.<\/p>\n

A lover of sports, with a deep commitment to empowering Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals to take pride in their differences, Dr. Galloway\u2019s legacy remains a large part of TSD today. TSD\u2019s current superintendent Claire Bugen shared the news of Galloway\u2019s death with campus staff, saying, \u201cIt is with a deep sense of personal loss that I share Vic’s passing. His accomplishments are too numerous to name – his impact on the world, education, athletics and the arts – are almost without rival. I am who I am today largely as a result of his mentoring and leadership. For those of us who were fortunate enough to love and be loved by this giant of a man with his debonair style, wit and intellect–the world is just a little more silent today.\u201d<\/p>\n

TSD shares its sorrow and deepest condolences with Mrs. Marilyn Galloway – Dr. Galloway\u2019s devoted wife of 42 years, and daughter, Shayne Galloway, both of Austin. Mrs. Galloway continues her involvement at TSD, as director on the board of the Texas School for the Deaf Foundation.<\/p>\n

Funeral services are pending at Weed-Corley-Fish.<\/p>\n

TSD is seeking a highly visible leader who values the diverse Deaf community, is invested in bilingual education, is bilingual (fluent in both American Sign Language and English), and is committed to the continued viability of the organization. The superintendent must be a leader of integrity who promotes diversity, equity and inclusion among all stakeholders. Additionally, the organization\u2019s leader shall be an authentic communicator who can listen and understand the expectations and needs expressed by the Governing Board, parents, students from birth to 22, teachers, staff, parents, and the deaf community. Texas School for the Deaf is established as a state agency to provide a continuum of direct educational services to students, ages zero through twenty-one, who are deaf or hard of hearing and who may have multiple disabilities. TSD is also directed to serve as a statewide educational resource center on deafness, providing a variety of educational services to families, students, programs and professionals throughout the state working with persons who are deaf or hard of hearing. Texas Education Code \u00a730.051-30.059. Students are admitted to TSD following a referral by a local school district, or a referral by a parent or adult student when the parent or adult student chooses TSD rather than the program offered locally. The TSD educational philosophy is grounded in the belief that all children who are deaf and hard of hearing deserve a quality language and communication-driven program that provides education together with a critical mass of communication, age, and cognitive peers, as well as language- proficient teachers and staff who communicate directly in the child\u2019s language.
