The school is named in honor of David Starr Jordan, the founding president of Stanford University, a noted educator and a leader in field of eugenics who had died just two years before the school first opened in 1934.[3][4] A century later, there has been many calls for the school to break its association with Dr. Jordan by having the school be renamed.[5][6]
