Some of the most meaningful moments in a student’s life begin in a classroom. A word of encouragement. A challenge to think bigger. A teacher who sees potential before a student sees it in themselves.
As we wrap up Teacher Appreciation Week with some of our favorite teacher pics from this past school year, we celebrate the educators who create those memories every day at Jenks Public Schools. From Pre-K to graduation, in every classroom, studio, lab, field, and performance space, our teachers are pushing students to grow into the very best version of themselves.
To every JPS teacher: thank you for showing up, pouring in, and making a difference that students will carry with them for a lifetime.

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.

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!

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!
