IT IS OFFICIAL!
The Jenks Public Schools Board of Education voted to approve Tuesday, May 28 as the last day of school for the 2023-24 school year. June 3 was the original last day of school on the instructional calendar. Because JPS used only one of the five weather days built into the instructional calendar on January 22, the last day of school for students is shifted from June 3 to May 28. Wednesday, May 29 will be a teacher workday at elementary, intermediate, and secondary sites.
Jenks Swimming is THE STANDARD. Another dominant meet for the Trojan boys as they cruised to the 6A State Championship at the Trojan Aquatic Center. That's five titles in the last six years and now 22 overall for one of the most successful programs in the state in any sport. The boys were also crowned Co-Academic State Champs. The Girls Swim Team capped off another impressive season with a State Runner-Up finish. Congrats to all Trojan swimmers and coaches!

Congrats to Maren Johnson on being named the 2023-24 Gatorade Oklahoma Volleyball Player of the Year! It's an incredible honor achieved by only the most elite HS athletes in the country. Maren was selected for her outstanding play on the court, as well her 4.11 GPA and her volunteer service at Tulsa Boys & Girls Club. She helped the Trojans to a 34-5 record and the 6A state title this year, and concluded her HS career with a school-record 1,371 kills. Way to go, Maren!
Congrats to Jenks Pom on finishing runner...WAIT. WHAT? Correction - Jenks Pom took state! After the OSSAA determined a judging error was made during the state competition, the Trojans were named the 6A Large School State Champs! The girls were surprised, shocked, and thrilled to learn the news, and we are so proud of this achievement and all the hard work they put in to make it happen! With this championship, Jenks has now won 200 athletic state championships in school history (who's counting?)! It's over 200 if you count the fine arts and activities state titles. #homeofchampions
To all the brave American heroes, thank you for your service and sacrifice. #VeteransDay 🇺🇸
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!
