Created in 1987, the Jenks Public Schools Foundation is a local education foundation dedicated to providing an enhanced academic environment for all students of the Jenks Public Schools. During the past 20 years, the Foundation has committed more than $1,700,000 for academic programs and projects, classroom grants, and teacher and staff recognition. These programs provide a direct benefit to hundreds of Jenks educators, and to thousands of students. The Jenks Public Schools Foundation is a non-profit, 501 (C) (3), tax-exempt organization supported by hundreds of dedicated volunteers. The JPSF board meets monthly, and holds classroom grant allocations meetings each school year.

Funds raised through the Foundation are disbursed as grants and awards to educators and staff, and to special student and district activities. The majority of the funds are distributed in the form of Classroom Grants to Teachers. These classroom-based projects enhance and enrich the learning environment for students of all grades on each campus. Exciting and challenging for students and educators alike, they allow each to embrace learning in an innovative way.

The success of the Foundation is based on the support of hundreds of committed parents, educators, businesses and supporters of the Jenks Public Schools. Our district is nationally recognized for numerous academic and athletic achievements and innovative approaches to education. The Jenks Public Schools Foundation has been instrumental in funding programs and projects that uphold the districts reputation for a “tradition of excellence with a vision for tomorrow.”
