\"Simmons<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jordan Simmons, Ed.D., is an educational leader known for a people-centered, results-driven approach to school transformation. A proud graduate of Richardson ISD, he has built his career on the belief that strong school culture, grounded in authentic relationships and daily presence, creates the foundation for lasting academic success. His leadership style emphasizes a \u201cboots-on-the-ground\u201d philosophy, prioritizing staff empowerment and student belonging to drive meaningful, system-wide change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Principal of West Mesquite High School in Mesquite ISD since 2023, Dr. Simmons has led a period of rapid and measurable growth. In his first year, the campus improved its accountability rating from a C to a B, while significantly increasing its College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) outcomes. The school went on to achieve the highest CCMR score in its history – 93 and a 91 in \u201cClosing the Gaps\u201d. His leadership has focused on aligning systems, strengthening instruction, and building a culture where staff collaboration and student belonging drive results. He has also implemented structures to improve attendance, reduce tardiness, and ensure that gains are sustainable over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before becoming a high school principal, Dr. Simmons served as Principal of McDonald Middle School from 2020 to 2023, where he successfully improved the school\u2019s accountability rating from a C to a consistent B while fostering growth in student achievement and campus culture. Prior to that, he was Assistant Principal at the same campus, supporting instructional leadership, professional development, and the implementation of restorative practices. His earlier experience includes teaching U.S. History at Mesquite High School and serving as a teacher and coach at Utley Middle School and Rockwall High School in Rockwall ISD, as well as Gatesville Junior High School, where he also held athletic leadership roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout his career, Dr. Simmons has remained focused on building schools where systems are aligned, educators are supported, and students feel a strong sense of belonging. His leadership is defined not only by measurable results, but by his ability to bring people together around a shared vision and turn that vision into sustained success. Family engagement has remained a central focus, and through intentional strategies, he has consistently improved student attendance year over year. His contributions have been recognized with several honors, including the Educator Excellence Award in 2015, and in 2010, Most Inspirational Teacher, as voted by students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is delighted to be back home in the district that shaped him as a graduate, employs his wife as a counselor, and educates his children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
