We know how to make an entrance. The ribbon was cut this morning on the beautiful new arches at the south end of the Jenks High School campus. This project was made possible thanks to the generosity of the Short family in partnership with the Jenks Public Schools Foundation. The stunning stone and brick design was completed by our friends at LDKerns Contractors and WRA Architects, Inc.
Our first site visit of the 2024-25 school year brings us to Jenks East Intermediate! It was a good thing Dr. Butterfield wore her tennis shoes because today is JEI's Wellness Wednesday! Wellness Wednesday is when students and staff add brain breaks and extra physical activities throughout the day. Dr. Butterfield participated in Mrs. Abel's vocabulary relay race and Mrs. Kelley's fitness scavenger hunt. What a strong start to our monthly site visits! Great work, JEI!
Selfless servant. It's how you can describe all 20 of the 2024 Vision of Excellence Award winners. These JPS employees are recognized for being leaders at their site or department. They embrace and embody continuous improvement, while consistently placing the needs of their students and colleagues above their own. Nominated by peers and members of the public, VOE winners are selected by the JPS Foundation and announced at the annual Back to School Rally. Congrats to all of the 2024 winners!
We're in our Trojan era!
It was an incredible morning as all 1,700 JPS employees gathered at the Frank Herald Fieldhouse for our Eras Tour-themed Back to School Rally. Today, we celebrated together, laughed together, and inspired each other for the 2024-25 school year. And yes, that is Taylor Swift, aka Dr. Butterfield being revealed in a full sequence fit and Travis Kelce aka, coach Josh Elmer walking her off the stage.
A huge thanks to our keynote speaker, Sean Bott for encouraging and reading the minds of our employees, the Jenks Public Schools Foundation for sponsoring the t-shirts, and all community partners, food sponsors, and volunteers who made this event a success.
Make this an era to remember, Trojans!
Enjoy the 4 day weekend, Trojans! See you Tuesday!
Green grass all around, all around (and year-round)! Students at Jenks High School are enjoying the new turf, benches, berms, and shade structures – all part of the recently completed campus beautification project. Enormous thanks to Jenks Student Council and all the students who organized and donated to Jenks Dub Week for their vision and contributions in creating this incredible space! Another example of bond dollars at work and sensational partnerships with Crossland Construction Company, Inc., GSHelms & Associates Architecture, and ForeverLawn in Oklahoma. What a transformation!
Jenks Southeast Elementary 4th grader, Brogan Baker, is interested in all things fire- fire alarms, fire doors, and fire panels to name a few things. It's safe to say he is preparing to become a future firefighter! Today, he was given the opportunity to assist the Tulsa Fire Department Fire Marshall with inspections at school. What an amazing experience that Brogan will always remember! Thank you, Tulsa FD!
Welcome back, Trojans! 😁👋 We missed you! Let's make 2024-25 the best year yet!

JPS 3rd grade student, Tate, was Jenks Public Schools Police Department's Chief for the day! 🚔🚨🧑✈️ Tate attended briefing sessions, patroled sites around the district, learned about the investigation process by participating in a crime scene scavenger hunt, and was awarded a certificate for being Chief for the day. Great job, JPS Police Department for organizing this opportunity for students to learn about the role of school police!
