Ironically, ASL has been offered in our local middle school
for many years (that provided my own intro to ASL over 20
years ago), but it is NOT offered in local high schools,
colleges, or universities. Look around at community
organizations and nearby schools (even middle schools), if
she is looking for an introduction to ASL that she can take
while still in high school.
For the university-level work, as the other poster said,
she's likely to need to go much further from home.
