Golfers Hit the Links in Support of JSD Classrooms

Posted on

Thank you to the participants and sponsors of the 2025 Jordan Education Foundation’s “Links to Schools Golf Classic” at Glenmoor Golf Club. Over 120 golfers hit the links in four-person scrambles on a picture-perfect Utah summer day to have some fun, mingle with friends, and raise money for a good cause! All proceeds from the event benefit Jordan Education Foundation’s Classroom Grants program, which provides classroom grants in support of educators and students. 

We are already looking forward to seeing everyone out on the course again on September 25 for Jordan Education Foundation’s Twilight Golf event! Learn more at jordaneducationfoundation.org.

Jordan School District CTE Students Compete on National Stage at SkillsUSA in Atlanta

Posted on

Eleven students from Jordan School District high schools are representing the District at the national SkillsUSA Championship this week in Atlanta, Georgia. These talented students are putting their hands-on training to the test in a range of career pathways, including barbering, nail care, motorcycle service, automotive maintenance and light repair, automotive refinishing, and collision damage appraisal.

The competition is a part of the annual SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference, where more than 6,000 students from across the country compete in skilled trades and leadership events. The Jordan School District students earned their place by excelling at the state-level competition earlier this year. Their participation underscores the significance of career and technical education in equipping students for real-world success in high-demand industries.

Congratulations to the JSD students participating in SkillsUSA. Wishing you all the best of luck in your competitions!

ARUP Thanks JSD High Schools for Saving Lives with Successful Blood Drives in 2024-25 School Year

Posted on

A big thank you and congratulations to students and staff for their hard work resulting in another great year for ARUP Blood Services blood drives in our high schools. During the 2024-25 school year, JSD high schools hosted 19 blood drives that helped ARUP Blood Services collect 1,322 units of blood.  All the blood collected at the drives stays in Utah to help patients at the Huntsman Cancer Hospital and the University of Utah Hospitals.

Bingham, Herriman, and Mountain Ridge High Schools all broke individual school records with the amount of blood collected in their drives this school year. The blood drive at Copper Hills High on May 14 collected 179 units of blood, which is the biggest blood drive ever at CHHS and ARUP’s biggest school blood drive ever!

We are proud of this life-saving work and commitment on the part of students to support ARUP.
