Hello!!

My name is Vanessa Perry-Tease McNeal and I am excited about starting my 2nd year teaching ASL at Port Neches- Groves High School as a second ASL teacher!! I graduated from Lamar University in 2019, with a degree in Secondary Mathematics Education with a minor in ASL.

I am Deaf and wear a Cochlear Implant to assist me in hearing and I can also read lips. However, my hearing and lipreading skills are not always reliable, so I will use sign language interpreters to gain communication access between myself and other people around me.

I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas to a hearing (non-deaf) family and they do sign a little bit. I recently got married over the summer, so I am still in the process of officially changing my last name. I would prefer to be called Mrs. McNeal instead of Ms. Perry-Tease.

This year I will be teaching ASL 2 through ASL 4 at PN-G.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me by email or video phone.

I cannot wait to meet the new faces and have an amazing year with everyone!!
