Jordan High School is a public comprehensive four-year high school in Los Angeles. Until October 2020, the school was named David Starr Jordan High School, after eugenicistDavid Starr Jordan, the first president of Stanford University (from 1891 to 1913). The school colors are Royal blue and white and the mascot is a bulldog.
With public input from the local community, the Los Angeles Unified School District school board unanimously voted in October 2020 to officially shorten the name of the school to "Jordan High School" and remove all references to David Starr Jordan.[3][4]
From early 2015 through late 2016 David Starr Jordan High School was temporarily closed for modernizations and new construction at the school. Students moved to a different school during renovations.
In March 2017 LAUSD sued the Los Angeles Housing Authority, stating that contaminants seeped onto the Jordan site from the neighboring Jordan Downs housing project.[7]
