When Jordan Short reported to work and began overseeing the renovation of Armstrong Elementary School, he knew what to expect. “It’s exactly how I remember it when I went to school here back in the 90s,” Jordan said. “Not much has changed in terms of the whole tone of the building.” Now, he is working not only on improving his own elementary school, but he’s also improving it for his three children.
