Barbara Jordan High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barbara Jordan High School for Careers is a public secondary school located at 5800 U.S. Route 59 (Eastex Freeway) in Houston, Texas, United States.
Jordan serves grades 9 through 12 and is a part of the Houston Independent School District.
Jordan has two magnet programs: a program for pupils who will enter the workforce after graduation for high school, and a program for high school-aged deaf pupils.
The school was named after Barbara Jordan.
Jordan does not automatically take in students from the surrounding neighborhoods: those students are zoned to either Kashmere High School or Davis High School.
