Jordan High School is a very diverse school. The amount of different people who attend make the experience at Jordan amazing, providing insights on many students. The academics are substantial, a lot of teacher are very passionate about what they do. The sports are above average, having various teams to try out for. The arts programs are exceeding in the orchestra and band section, but lacking in the visual arts section.
