Discussion of an Athletic Hall of Fame has echoed within the walls of Jordan for years. The Jordan faithful have sought a way to award those athletes who brought honor to Jordan either as a Red Jacket or after their high school years. Through the efforts of the JVHS Alumni Association (Fred Ogle), this will become a reality in August. The Inaugural JVHS Hall of Fame Induction will be held at St. Luke United Methodist Church’s Activity Center in downtown Columbus. A reception will begin at 5:30pm, with the Dinner/Induction beginning at 6:15pm. The price of the event will be $30.00 per person. Please make checks payable to “Jordan Vocational High School Alumni” and RSVP to:
