Our new logo is unveiled. We hope you like it. I feel it very effectively communicates our rich history, our confidence in moving forward, and the essential elements of our mission as a District – to lead, educate, and inspire. The beginning of this next year is especially unique. There will likely never be another time like this to try to engage all of our community around our mission. That community includes employees, parents, students, patrons without students in our schools, businesses, cities, and Salt Lake County. Among several elements that will be new about the Jordan School District, the unveiling of the logo is the first and one of the more visible. It is intentionally meant to grab attention – lots of it. We contracted with a great design firm, Swivelhead Design Works in Salt Lake City, that was excited to help us. One reason is because the owner is a Jordan District graduate. Matt Doyle saw an opportunity to “give back” to the institution that provided the foundation upon which he has built a successful career. In the midst of many things that have divided us in the past, the new logo is one thing around which we can all unite.
