Andrew Jordan, Superintendent of Wilton Public Schools, has been named North Dakota’s Superintendent of the Year by the North Dakota Association of School Administrators (NDASA) as part of the Sourcewell, Core Bridge, and AASA Superintendent of the Year Program. This prestigious honor recognizes exceptional leadership in public education.
Jordan will represent North Dakota in the National Superintendent of the Year program and be recognized at the National Conference on Education in Nashville, TN in February and in Washington, D.C. in December.
A proud Wilton native, Jordan graduated from Wilton High School in 1997. He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from Dickinson State University and a Master’s in Educational Leadership from the University of North Dakota. His career began as a social studies teacher and coach at Center-Stanton High School, followed by administrative work in Seattle and leadership roles at the Missouri River Educational Cooperative.
Jordan returned to Wilton as principal in 2012 and became superintendent in 2018 after serving as superintendent in New Salem-Almont. Under his leadership, Wilton has implemented a strategic plan, adopted a policy governance model, and launched a major facility expansion and modernization project. He has also prioritized staff wellness and professional growth, including leading a district-wide Inner Excellence book study focused on mindset and self-care.
Beyond his district, Jordan is a committed mentor through ND Association of School Administrator’s (NDASA) superintendent mentoring program and serves as an instructional mentor supporting instructional leadership across the state. He served as President of the North Dakota High School Activities Association in 2024–25, is the current President-Elect of NDASA, and serves on the North Dakota Council of Educational Leaders board.
Jordan and his wife, Sarah, Principal at Silver Ranch Elementary, have three children: Ava (21), Madison (18), and Jackson (17). His leadership philosophy is simple: “Lead with integrity, collaborate with others, and always put students first.”
