Jordan PREP (Pre-Freshman Engineering Program) students became rocket scientists for a day. They spent time in class learning about the forces of rocket flight. Then they put their learning into action by transforming 2-liter bottles into rockets, complete with nose cones, fins, and fuel tanks filled with water and compressed air. Joel P. Jensen Middle School served as the launch site as students competed to see which rocket design would fly the farthest.

Jordan PREP is a summer program that engages students in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)-based learning. The program spans three consecutive summers and puts students on track to earn a certificate from Salt Lake Community College before graduating from high school.

Parents of students attending kindergarten in Jordan School District in the 2026-27 school year, register your student now. Children seeking to enter school must be five (5) years-old before Sept. 2 of the year admission is sought. This is state law.

Jordan School District was represented at the West Jordan City Grand Parade. The Copper Hills High and West Jordan High marching bands participated in the annual parade down Redwood Road on Independence Day, filling the streets with festive tunes for the celebration of America’s 250th birthday.

Thank you, Copper Hills and West Jordan bands, for sharing your talents with everyone at the Grand Parade!
