Our History:

Marion Jordan School officially opened January 6, 1964. Because of its location—in a sparsely populated neighborhood in west Palatine—virtually three fourths of the student body were bused. Noon time was an adventure for those who wanted to buy a hot, 35-cent lunch: they had to ride a bus to Gray M. Sanborn School. It wasn't until January 3, 1967, that the school had its own lunchroom.

Our Mission:

Marion Jordan School's mission is to produce world-class learners by providing a differentiated curriculum and encouraging the mastery of communication skills and life skills so our students become respectful, contributing members of our 21st century society.
