Since 2006, AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) classes have helped Jenks students close the opportunity gap and realize their full potential. AVID prepares students to achieve college and career success by building confidence, developing classroom communities, and providing foundational skills to navigate what’s next after high school. Today, on National AVID Day, we recognize our teachers, students, and administrators for shaping the Jenks AVID program into something truly life changing. Last year alone, Jenks AVID students received over $3 million dollars in college scholarship offers! Many AVID students are the first in their family to attend college, and we are so grateful to be one of the many school districts across the country to offer this program! Learn more about AVID at Jenks by tuning in tonight at 6 p.m. on KJRH. AVID teachers and students will be featured as part of the live newscast from Allan Trimble Stadium!

Doesn't matter if you were here for one year or all the years...you will forever be Trojans. What a week, what a ride it was. This one's for you, Jenks High School Class of 2025. WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP0RPKoUIOs
Their time at Jenks High School has come to an end. Here, they found friendships and discovered so much about themselves. They were challenged and tested and emerged stronger than before. The lessons and guidance they were given set them on a path to success, but what truly makes this feel like home is the people. The moments and the memories include their favorite people. Before they leave, these seniors have some parting words for this place and those who made it so special. WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT5T_R9I-cQ
Caps off to the Jenks High School Class of 2025! You did it! 🎓
Another decorated year in the books for Jenks FFA as the Trojans captured two state championships in the Oklahoma FFA Interscholastic Competition! Jenks won the title in Agricultural Technology and Mechanical Systems and took home the top prize in Electricity Career Development. Six students also earned their State FFA Degrees. Congrats to all!
Congratulations to Jenks High School senior, Vung Neam, for being selected for the 2025 Dell Scholars Cohort!

As a Dell Scholar, Vung receives $20,000 per year on top of any scholarships already received (for 6 years), access to personalized support, a Dell laptop, book credits for four years, mental health and wellness support, and guidance for career success.
Special thanks to the teachers and administrators like Jinafer Brown and Eric Fox, who have provided so much support and guidance to Vung along the way!
We’re so thrilled for you, Vung! We are excited to see how you use this incredible opportunity to pursue and achieve your dreams!
This past weekend, we got spooky with the Jenks Vocal Music production of "The Addams Family!" It was a creepy, kooky, and unforgettable highschool musical event filled with stunning vocals, unforgettable moments, and spooky and wonderful characters!

The JHS ASL Club had a silent dinner last week. Silent dinners encourage immersion in sign language, fostering a deeper understanding and improving fluency. This setting also helps students build confidence in using sign language in a social context. Some future ASL Club events include DeafNation Expo in OKC, Andy B's, The Renaissance Fair in Muskogee and a day at the zoo.
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!
