Jordan High Alumni Association

ALUMNI LEADERSHIP

Jordan High School Alumni Association Mission Statement Keeping the Beetdigger Pride Alive!
The purpose of the Jordan High Alumni Association is to maintain the enthusiasm, pride and tradition of the spirit of Jordan High School. This will be accomplished by organizing and collaborating on a history of Jordan High, providing scholarships for students when possible, helping where we can with the Jordan High student body, maintaining the Jordan High School pride and providing a valuable record of alumni from the school's beginning and maintaining this record in the future.

Past and Present

Maintaining a viable Alumni Association is no small task.  The first Jordan High School Alumni Association was organized in 1915 with Orson Smith, president.  This organization served well but, unfortunately, was disbanded within a short time.  Nearly 80 years would pass before the Jordan High alumni would again be formally organized.

In 1995 Glenn Sacos, a proud Beetdigger from the Class of 1942 gathered friends and former students together to organize the Jordan High School Alumni Association.  He was elected president and served in that position until his death in December 1995.
