Well… not really an “Application” per se. But we are looking for community members who are interested in forging the future of our school! The School Community Council meets every other month at the school. Most meetings are held in the evening. Please look over old minutes to see the types of discussions covered in these meetings and when you decide that you want to participate, send an email to lynn.allred@jordandistrict.org. Lynn is the Assistant Principal gathering applicants’ information – and thank you for your help!
