Jenks Public Schools - A Tradition of Excellence with a Vision for Tomorrow.

Golden once again! 🏆⛳️

Jenks High School Girls Golf are your 6A State Champions after a dominant performance, winning the tournament by 14 strokes. The title marks the 17th championship in program history and the third in the last five years. Senior Lisa Herman claimed the individual state championship, finishing 15 strokes ahead of the field. Congrats to these girls and their coaches on an incredible season!

Going all in(clusive)! 👏

Allan Trimble Stadium was filled with JPS elementary students for the Jenks Young Athletes Field Day! Young athletes enjoyed a day centered on movement, learning, and inclusion. From sport rotations to activity centers, the event created a fun, positive, and engaging experience for all. A special thank you to Project Unify and the Jenks High School students who volunteered to help make the day such a success!

Behind every successful student is a teacher who showed up, cared deeply, and never gave up. Teacher Appreciation Week is a chance for all of us to recognize the impact of JPS educators in the classroom and across our entire community.

This week, help us show our teachers and staff how much they matter. A small thank-you can go a long way. Whether it’s a note, a message, or a kind word, Teacher Appreciation Week is the perfect time to recognize the educators who invest so much in our students every day.

Let us bring some cuteness to your feed! 🐑
Jenks High School FFA visited Jenks West Elementary Pre-K with some special four-legged friends for a fun hands-on learning experience. Students loved meeting the sheep up close while learning more about agriculture and animal care. A great example of Trojans teaching Trojans and making learning memorable. Thanks, Jenks FFA!

Today, TEDxJenks returned to the PAC as Jenks High School students led another incredible showcase of thought-provoking conversations. With 19 student speakers taking the stage, the only student-led TEDx event in the region once again highlighted the talent, leadership, and voices of our Trojans. Well done to all who planned, organized, and spoke at this amazing event!

Tiny artists, BIG creativity! 🎨👏
Our tiniest Trojans at Jenks Southeast Elementary proudly displayed the masterpieces they’ve worked on all year long, giving families a glimpse into their imagination, growth, and hard work. A big thank you to the incredible pre-k teachers for making this special event possible. Way to go, JSE pre-k!

DUB Week is underway at Jenks High School! 🎉

During a hands-on lab, Jenks High School Advanced Biology students partnered with peers from another biology class to dissect frogs. 🐸 The inclusive assignment highlights collaboration, connection, and meaningful learning experiences. We love to see Trojans learning from Trojans!

Earlier this week, AVID sophomores from Jenks High School toured The University of Oklahoma, accompanied by Dr. Fox, Mrs. Ritze, Mr. McCown, Mrs. Finch, and Mr. Ruggiano. The tour guide was a Jenks grad and former AVID student who was able to speak to the current students on how the AVID program prepared her for college. Year after year, AVID continues to create opportunities and experiences our students can't get anywhere else!

What an incredible celebration of our home planet!

Third grade students at West Elementary performed "Earth Dance" and took us on a joyful journey around the world through song, movement, and music. They performed in multiple languages, played instruments, and danced their hearts out—all in honor of our beautiful planet and the diverse cultures that make it so special.

Bravo to these Trojans for their hard work, creativity, and spirit!
