• All JHS juniors will take the ACT at Jordan on March 11, 2025. The ACT is a measure of high school students' readiness for college by evaluating skills in four main areas: English, math, reading, and science. The ACT is widely accepted by colleges and universities for admissions and scholarship considerations. Scores range from 1 to 36, with a composite score representing the average of the four main sections.

Food delivery during the school day is strictly prohibited due to consistent interruptions of instruction, theft of orders, and increased safety concerns (i.e., DoorDash, UberEats, GrubHub, Papa Johns, Jimmy Johns, etc.). Delivery drivers will be turned away upon entering the campus. Students and families must refrain from ordering food for delivery to students. Jordan High School is not responsible or liable for lost funds when orders are canceled.
