This morning, members of the Jenks Young Americans Foundation and Student Council honored the victims of September 11, 2001, by placing 2,977 American flags at the entrance of Jenks High School. One for each life lost on that tragic day. We are proud of these students for carrying forward the responsibility of remembrance and honoring the innocent lives taken and the heroes who showed extraordinary courage in the face of tragedy.
Twenty-five years later, we remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

A SUPER start to the 2026-27 school year! 💥
This morning, more than 1,700 JPS employees came together at the Frank Herald Fieldhouse for our annual Back to School Rally! We laughed, celebrated, got inspired, and watched Dr. Butterfield prove that every superintendent needs a gold cape in their wardrobe.
A special thank you to keynote speaker John O'Leary for sharing an unforgettable message with our JPS employees, the Jenks Public Schools Foundation for sponsoring this year’s t-shirts, and our incredible community partners, food sponsors, and volunteers who helped make the morning a success.
Not all superheroes wear capes! They’re in our classrooms, offices, cafeterias, buses, and all across the District every single day, making a difference for students. Here’s to an incredible year ahead, Trojans!

Dr. Butterfield’s first site visit of the 2026-27 school year took her to Northwest Elementary, where she visited Ms. Duvall’s and Ms. Hunt’s third grade classrooms. We loved getting a look at all the learning already underway! Thanks for the great visit, JNWE!

Congratulations to Jenks Middle School student Vung Buansing on being selected for the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Young Scholars Program, a highly competitive national program for exceptional students.

First day, best day! 😁 Welcome back, Trojans! Here’s to an incredible year ahead!
Incoming 7th graders got a head start on middle school at Jenks Middle School's WEB (Where Everyone Belongs) Orientation! With the help of 8th grade WEB Leaders, students toured JMS, picked up their schedules and IDs, met new friends, and got a feel for what’s ahead. A big thank you to our WEB Leaders for helping our incoming 7th graders feel welcome and supported as they make the transition to middle school. See you August 13!
One for the books!
