Freshman Academy - A Tradition of Excellence with a Vision for Tomorrow.

One for the books!
What a privilege to cut the ribbon for the completed renovation and expansion of the Jenks Freshman Academy. Years of work, planning, and construction reached the finish line today and will pay off for many future generations of Trojans. Thank you to our partners, Crossland Construction, Gshelms & Associates Architecture, and Lindsay Farr. Most of all, thank you to our community for supporting JPS bond elections and believing in the vision to continuously improve our district. Can't wait to welcome students on the first day!

☕🎉 Coffee for a Cause! 🎉☕

While you're at Freshman Schedule Pick-Up, be sure to stop by the Crossfire Coffee Truck, conveniently located outside the Dining Hall!

Not only can you enjoy your favorite coffee and specialty drinks, but a portion of every purchase will go directly to support the Freshman Class! It's a delicious way to support our students while checking one more thing off your back-to-school to-do list.

We can't wait to see you there!

Jenks Freshman Academy Community

Please note that Jenks Freshman Academy will be closed to the public on Friday, July 31, to provide flexibility for our staff members who wish to attend the memorial service for our beloved colleague, Alice Haight.

We appreciate your understanding and support during this time as we honor her memory and the impact she made on our school community.

Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to serving you when we reopen on Monday, August 3rd .

📍 Trip Recap – Day 1 ✈️

Our adventure officially began with a full day of travel! We started at the airport, boarded our first plane, and made our way through another airport before catching our second flight to our destination.

After landing, we went through customs and met the bus that would be taking us around for the week. We were also excited to meet our tour guide, Dennis, who helped get us settled and ready for the days ahead.

After a long day of airports and airplanes, we finally arrived at our hotel for the night, La Rosa de America, where everyone was happy to relax and get some rest.

It was a long travel day, but the perfect start to an incredible trip! 🌎✈️

🍎 Recruiting the Next Generation of Trojans! 🏫

It may be Spring Break for our students and teachers, but our administrators are hard at work! They attended the NSU–Tahlequah Teacher Job Fair today to connect with future educators and share what makes Jenks Public Schools such a special place to teach and learn.

We're excited to meet passionate, talented future teachers and invite them to become part of the Trojan family. ❤️

Here’s to finding the next group of educators who will inspire, support, and lead our students to success.

Future Trojans — we hope to see you in Jenks soon! 📚

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!

Introducing the 2024-25 Site Teachers of the Year! These educators were selected by their peers at each JPS site because of the way they connect with students, mentor colleagues, innovate in their classrooms, and consistently demonstrate the mission, vision, and values of Jenks Public Schools. These ten individuals are relentless advocates for students and public education. Our community is so fortunate to have teachers like these (and many others), who inspire our next generation of leaders with their genuine care and passion for what they do. Please join us in congratulating them!

Once again, JPS patrons have shown unwavering support of our students, staff, and our mission. JPS voters approved two separate bond propositions today totaling $19,600,000 by a margin of 81.4% to 18.6%. Jenks’ voters have now approved 61 of the past 62 bond issues for Jenks Public Schools. Your vote of confidence is deeply appreciated. These bond dollars will allow JPS to continue to provide exceptional resources, facilities, and opportunities to all students. Thank you, voters!

Polls are open right now and will stay open until 7 pm. Please go vote in the JPS Bond Election! Thank you! https://www.jenksps.org/page/bond-election
