"He's a natural leader and takes charge in all he does," Kirchhoff said.
Immanuel Principal Bob Christian feels the same way.
"Jordan demonstrates exceptional student leadership at Immanuel," he said. "He not only is willing to help in school improvement, but always sets an example for younger students and his peers in his academics, his extra-curricular activities and his faith walk. It has been a pleasure to work with him on the Immanuel Student Council."
