ROME - Seven students graduated from the New York State School for the Deaf on Friday afternoon.

What sets this graduation apart from others is that the entire ceremony is presented in sign language. Officials say students work extra hard to meet New York State requirements for graduation.

The School for the Deaf is celebrating its 133rd year.
