Students in the Jordan School District are learning more than the "3 R's". The Career and Technical Education department has a well-earned reputation for providing high-quality programs staffed by skilled educators, who are supported with excellent equipment and training.
Students who take advantage of this great opportunity prepare to further their education or to enter the workforce with skills and experiences needed for success.
