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.

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.

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.

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
