The school year may be over, but the learning never stops at JPS!
For the past couple of days, award-winning educator and inquiry expert Trevor MacKenzie has been working with over 50 of our Pre-K–6th grade teachers. He guided staff in sparking curiosity, building student agency, and supporting deep learning through inquiry-based instruction. His visit directly supports our Portrait of a Graduate, and we’re excited to bring these strategies into our classrooms! Thank you, Trevor, for investing in our staff members.

Juniors came to play… but the seniors came to WIN! 🏆🏈
What a night at Powderpuff! The Jenks High School Class of 2025 walked away with a big W, sweeping the juniors in an unforgettable game. But we gotta give credit where it's due, junior man cheer showed UP and snagged the win on the sidelines! Huge thanks to everyone who made tonight possible and to everyone who showed up to support Jenks Cheer!
Doesn't matter if you were here for one year or all the years...you will forever be Trojans. What a week, what a ride it was. This one's for you, Jenks High School Class of 2025. WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP0RPKoUIOs
Shovels hit the dirt this morning as students, staff, and JPS Board members celebrated breaking ground on the final phase of the Jenks Freshman Academy renovation and expansion. Made possible by Jenks voters with their overwhelming passage of bond propositions, the new addition to the Freshman Academy is on track to open in August 2026. We are so thankful for the support of our entire community and our incredible partners at GSHelms & Associates Architecture and Crossland Construction Company, Inc. Together, we are building a better future for our students!
That's a wrap on 2024-25! Happy last day of school! Enjoy every minute of your summer! 🌞😎 See you in August, Trojans!
Their time at Jenks High School has come to an end. Here, they found friendships and discovered so much about themselves. They were challenged and tested and emerged stronger than before. The lessons and guidance they were given set them on a path to success, but what truly makes this feel like home is the people. The moments and the memories include their favorite people. Before they leave, these seniors have some parting words for this place and those who made it so special. WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT5T_R9I-cQ

Happy National School Nurse Day! 🩺
Today, we say thank you to our incredible JPS nurses whose care, compassion, and steady presence make all the difference. You’re an essential part of our schools, and we’re better because of you. Thank you for everything you do!
It’s #NationalTeacherAppreciationWeek, and we’re celebrating the life-changing impact of Jenks teachers! They do so much more than teach; they inspire, encourage, and support our students every single day. Whether it’s a kind word, a listening ear, or a moment of belief, JPS teachers make a difference in ways that can’t always be seen, but are always felt.
Take a moment this week to say thank you. A kind word, a quick note, or a simple “you made a difference” can mean everything.
We see you, teachers, and we appreciate you more than words can say.
A one-of-a-kind event powered entirely by student leadership!
The TEDxJenks event featured 20+ powerful speakers and sparked meaningful conversations on a variety of topics. The only student-organized TEDx in the region—huge kudos to the Jenks students, staff, and admin who made it happen!
Raising the bar and redefining excellence.
Congratulations to the Jenks High School Class of 2025 valedictorians and salutatorians! Your dedication, resilience, and drive have led to an incredible achievement. We’re proud of you, Trojans! 🎓👏
Jenks Southeast Elementary first graders in Ms. Harris’s art class have created something truly special! Together, they designed and painted a Play Me Tulsa piano with an adorable musical cat theme. Catch it at Tulsa Mayfest before it finds a new home in our community, ready for everyone to play, enjoy, and purr-form on! 🎶🐱🎹
