Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind began in 1912 when Arizona became the 48th state in the USA. The Arizona State Constitution established ASDB as the program for educating deaf and blind children and youth in Arizona, and services were initially provided only at the Tucson Campus. Henry White, who founded the Utah School for the Deaf, was the first principal of ASDB. When the school first began it was part of the University of Arizona and was located on the university campus. ASDB moved to the West Speedway campus in 1922 and was separated from the university in 1929.
