ABOUT THE SUPERINTENDENT
Entering her 36th year in the Milpitas Unified School District, Superintendent Cheryl Jordan champions a commitment to building a Culture of WE that aims to leave a profound impact on All Learners - students, educators, and community. The 2023 Association of California School Administrators (ACSA) State Superintendent of the Year and American Leadership Forum Fellow, currently serves as the Chair of ACSA’s State Legislative Policy Committee, a member of ACSA’s State Board of Education Accountability TaskForce, ACSA Region 8 Executive Board, the SJSU Lurie College of Education Advisory Board, & Santa Clara County Construction Careers Association Board. Jordan is also past president of both the Santa Clara County Superintendents Association and the Milpitas Rotary, as well as treasurer of the Milpitas Kiwanis. She has served as a member of the ACSA Curriculum, Instruction and Accountability Council, and the World House Global Network.
Superintendent Jordan’s current focus involves the collaborative effort of completing and launching the MUSD Innovation Campus—a visionary project forged through business-school-community-governance partnerships to benefit a wide spectrum of learners, from 13-65+ years old. Jordan and team have launched a MUSD Middle College High School program, a World Languages Academy, and partnerships with SJECCD on a SJCC Extension in Milpitas as well as with the City of Milpitas and EVCC to provide learners with personalized learning and career paths. Starting her education journey as a middle school and alternative high school educator before advancing to a multitude of school site and district administration roles has allowed Jordan to draw from these experiences in relating to each of her colleagues and moving MUSD forward in an endless-possibilities trajectory. A life-long learner herself, Jordan’s own personal development continues today with a lens on innovation for humanity.
LET’S PRIORITIZE HUMAN CONNECTIONS TO BUILD OUR STUDENTS’ ESSENTIAL POWER SKILLS
As the 2025-26 school year comes to a close we are incredibly proud of the 100s of spotlights on MUSD student, staff and family successes throughout the year such as our championships and achievements in basketball, wrestling, swimming, robotics, debate, art, civics, eSports, hack-a-thons, music, career fairs, dual enrollment, language acquisition, community heritage collaborations, and so much more! Reflecting on the pathways to these recognitions, we see the even richer learning and connections that each experienced along the way. In learning, it is the how, and with whom that matters. BEing present to listen, to coach and to support so that our learners gain skills for life through mistakes, discomfort, and challenges is how they come to achieve and be champions in what they want to pursue in their future. … Click to continue reading Superintendent’s blog
