It's Red Ribbon Week at Jenks High School!
Red Ribbon Week is a tobacco, alcohol, and drug substance abuse prevention and awareness campaign. This year, Jenks Drug Free Youth is taking part in bringing awareness to the problem of substance abuse on campus with the help from STUCO, and the Super Fans. Look out this week for events happening around JHS!
What's next for Jenks High School seniors after they step off the graduation stage in May? Today, the class of 2024 had the opportunity to prepare for college and career possibilities! Students attended the 2023 PrepYou Senior Conference at OSU-Tulsa, where they attended sessions on building a business, choosing a career, managing college financial aid, personal finance, and many more. Thanks to Mike Bausch from Andolini's Pizzeria - Jenks for inspiring our students this morning, Jenks Public Schools Foundation, and all the community partners and speakers who continue to make this event a success for our Trojans! #5AFriday #Academics
Y'all ready for Friday night? Judging by the decibel level at the pep rally today, the student body at Jenks High School can't wait to take on a suburban school to the south. Even the Superintendent went for a spin on the mechanical bull! Huge thanks to Channel 6 for presenting the Spirit Stick and to Jenks alum and Super Bowl champ, Darwin Thompson for making a special appearance. Let's go Trojans!
Wow! What an incredible morning spent at Jenks Middle School! 🎼🧬🦎🇺🇸
Dr. Butterfield was serenaded by Mr. Brown's 7th grade Vocal Music students, sat in on DNA trait research presentations, and was introduced to Mr. Ratliff's leopard gecko, Dread! Her last stop was in Mr. Ford's 8th grade US history class where students shared their artwork on what life in the colonies was like. Thank you, teachers, for having us in your classrooms today!
Happy Halloween from Taylor Swift, a dinosaur, Jack Skellington, Fancy Nancy, Rainbow Fish, and a tiger! 🤩📚🎃 Jenks Southeast Elementary Trojans kicked off Halloween by dressing up as their favorite book character and parading down the halls. Prepare yourselves for these not-so-spooky, but adorable pictures!
Thanks to the Jenks Public Schools Foundation, all 11th grade students had the opportunity to visit University of Oklahoma's Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art. This Growing Through the Arts experience allowed juniors to explore the art of various periods and cultures in one of the finest university art museums in the United States. The incredible opportunity to immerse our Trojans in different forms of art from around the world wouldn't have been possible without the funding from the JPSF! #5AFriday #Arts

Dr. Butterfield's site visit at Jenks Freshman Academy gave us all the creative vibes! ✏️📓
This morning, we had the opportunity to step into Ms. Foreman's English class where students were implementing different writing processes. Dr. Butterfield, Principal Gray, and the students took a glance at different images of different people and jotted down how the person made them feel. Students later used those explanations to develop characters. Thank you, Ms. Foreman, for welcoming us into your classroom!
Homecoming Week is here! Please be aware of changes to the Homecoming Parade route.
This year, the Homecoming Parade begins at 5:30 p.m. on Friday and the Parade will move east on A Street from Date Street to 3rd Street. The Parade WILL NOT be on Main Street this year due to the road construction.

During the Parade, please stay off the street. All spectators should remain on the shoulder or the sidewalk for the duration of the Parade. Thank you!
