Jordan Pinkard was born on July 9, 2007, to Kim and G.R. Pinkard. He has one sibling, Joey Pinkard. Jordan’s favorite teachers are Mrs. Balzer and Mr. Ridings because they are both fun and overall great teachers. He describes himself in three words as godly, old-soul, and genuine. If he could travel anywhere in the world, Jordan would choose the Bahamas, a beautiful destination he has always wanted to visit. His favorite high school memory is watching his brother graduate. During high school, Jordan has been involved in FFA, FCA, Beta, Pep Club, and Discipleship. He also participated in baseball, basketball (one year), cross country, and track (one year). As a child, Jordan dreamed of joining the military or becoming a farmer. Now, he plans to attend Hannibal-LaGrange University, where he will play baseball while earning a degree in Agricultural Business.
Jordan’s advice to underclassmen is to “enjoy the time you have, make the best out of every moment, and give it all to God.” He is excited to graduate and begin the next chapter of his life, trusting in what God has in store for him. Jordan says he will miss his mom, Terri, and playing basketball and baseball the most. His mom has had the greatest influence on him, always pushing him to do his best and helping him fully enjoy his senior year. He considers his greatest accomplishment to be striving to show godliness in his life and being blessed with the opportunity to pursue his future in both baseball and his education after high school.
