Jordan Creek History
Let's learn about Jordan Creek Elementary School's history! It was dedicated on Sept. 13, 1992, and for the first year, it was called Phenix-Jordan Creek Elementary School. What made it special is that students from almost every school in the district came to study here. Many of them were from Westridge, which covered the Jordan Creek area until our new school opened.
In the 1992-93 school year, students and families from Phenix Elementary School joined Jordan Creek while their school was being remodeled. The name Phenix-Jordan Creek Elementary School recognized both school neighborhoods.
Jordan Creek was the first part of a plan for two schools (including Valley Southwoods) with nearby municipal buildings like the West Des Moines Public Library and City Hall. They all served a growing neighborhood, and the school's design, with red and brown brick and blue roof accents, matched the city/school campus.
The classrooms, arranged like pinwheels, form "families" around a central open media center. It's a cool place with an interesting history!
