Jordan Senior High School

What Jordan Senior High School does

Jordan Senior High School, also known as Jordan High School or JHS, is a public high school serving grades 9-12 at 95 Beetdigger Blvd, Sandy, Utah, operating under Canyons School District, a government public school district entity established in 2009. The school operates under the stated mission of "Preparing students for post high school success" as the home of the Beetdiggers, holds Cognia accreditation, and ranked #18 in the Salt Lake metro area in the 2026 U.S. News & World Report Best High Schools rankings. Jordan High attracts 114 out-of-district students based on academic and extracurricular reputation, served by a leadership team led by Principal Wendy Dau and four vice principals (Dina Kohler, Roberto Jimenez, Jana Crist, Mary Simao). The school is overseen at the district level by the incoming Superintendent Dr. McKay Robinson, who succeeded Dr. Rick L. Robins effective June 30, 2026.

The school delivers a comprehensive educational portfolio spanning core academic subjects, Career Technical Education (CTE) routed through the Canyons Technical Education Center (CTEC), competitive athletics (basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball, tennis, and others), performing arts, and specialized programs including the National Naval Defense Cadet Corps (NNDCC), AVID college readiness, driver education, and work-based learning. The technology stack is built on Canvas LMS for course management and online instruction, Skyward for the student information system (with an upgrade planned for summer 2026), Zoom/Google Meet for synchronous online learning, and supporting tools including Beanstack for reading challenges, Follett for library cataloging, CalendarWiz for events, Peachjar for e-flyers, GoFan for event ticketing, and SchoolMessenger for parent communications. District-issued Chromebooks extend digital access to students across all programs. Student support is provided through a Counseling Center and the Digger Den in-school teen center, while scholarship funding flows through the Alumni Association's Legacy and Service scholarship programs.

The school's business model is non-commercial. Primary funding flows through Canyons School District via state education appropriations and local property tax revenue, with federal education programs supplementing where applicable. Direct revenue is generated only through modest transaction-based fees: night school credit recovery at $35 per quarter credit (with fee waivers available), prom tickets at $25 online or $30 at the door, and community fundraising initiatives such as the Tommy Guns Barber Shop partnership donating 50% of proceeds to JHS Athletics. The value proposition is anchored on college readiness (including free ACT testing for all 11th graders), CTE career pathways, a broad athletic and performing arts program, and social-emotional support services. Primary customer segments are high school students (grades 9-12) and their families, with secondary engagement from community members, local business partners, and alumni.
