The team was originally the Blue Phantoms,[3] but changed after the schools were integrated in 1968\u221269 to avoid controversy after a small riot at a football game in 1971[4] over the resemblance to the KKK because of the use of white sheets.[5] The school’s colors are royal blue and gold.The school offers a block style schedule which allows students to take eight classes a year. A wide variety of AP classes and career development classes are offered here.In 2009 Us News and World Report assigned JM a Silver Medal as one of the best high schools in America.Sports and clubs are popular activities at the school. Some clubs such as AIM, DECA, FBLA, and HOSA compete at district, state, and national levels. Students can also participate in  Arts programs which include Art, Band under the direction of J.C. Harper and Chorus under the direction of Matthew Fry which is assisted by JMArts,[6] the Jordan-Matthews High School Arts Foundation, a nonprofit created in 2011 to enhance arts education at Jordan-Matthews. In the past, sports such as women\u2019s tennis, golf, and men\u2019s basketball and soccer have won state championships. The book “A Home on the Field”, was written by the Jordan-Matthews soccer coach, Paul Cuadros,[7] and a documentary series on NuvoTV was made Los Jets built around the team and its history.[8]Student population[edit]Chatham County, where the school is located, has experienced an influx of Hispanics over the last ten to fifteen years.
