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 eugenicist David 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.

Some sections of Florence-Graham, an unincorporated neighborhood in Los Angeles County, are jointly zoned to Jordan and John C. Fremont High School. The Gonzaque Village, Imperial Courts, Jordan Downs, and Nickerson Gardens public housing developments of Los Angeles are zoned to Jordan.

Jordan is one of a few high schools to have three, unrelated, Olympic gold medalists come from the same high school in Hayes Edward Sanders, Florence Griffith-Joyner and Kevin Young. Sanders, in 1952, became the first African American to win the Olympic Heavyweight Boxing Championship while Griffith-Joyner still holds the current World Record in her respective event.

It was in the Los Angeles City High School District until 1961, when it merged into LAUSD.[2]

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]

Modernization

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.

Prior to the 2005 opening of South East High School, Jordan served portions of the City of South Gate.[5][6]

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]
