Support Staff

At Jordan High School, we offer a variety of supports to help students be successful. Students may meet with their school counselor to discuss postsecondary plans and ideas. Every Wednesday, we offer PRIDE Time during the first hour of the day, providing students with an opportunity to receive extra academic support or makeup missing work. Please feel free to reach out to our support staff with any questions or concerns regarding assistance for your student.
