Dr. Jennifer Gordon Bench Dedication

McClure Elementary Dedicates Bench to Honor Legacy of Dr. Jennifer Gordon

Posted on 09/17/2021

At the end of the 2020-2021 school year, Dr. Jennifer Gordon retired after 24 years as principal of McClure Elementary School.

To honor her legacy and service to Topeka Public Schools, a bench was dedicated in her honor on the school playground.

During her time as principal, Dr. Gordon brought national recognition to McClure and led the school to win the 2017 National School of Character Award.

We thank Dr. Gordon for the impact she had on thousands of students across Topeka Public Schools district.
