I absolutely love the community at Mortimer Jordan. The staff and the students are like one big family and the staff tries to help everyone the best they can. The only issue I have come across is that some teachers do not care about the class they are teaching, they only care about the sport they coach. But that is only a select few most of the faculty is amazing.
