Jenks Public Schools is proud to announce the 2023-24 Site Teachers of the Year. These dedicated, professional educators have been selected by their colleagues at each JPS site for the incredible ways they are connecting with students and for what they contribute to their school. They truly embody the vision and values of Jenks Public Schools, and consistently demonstrate their care and compassion for students and staff members. We are so fortunate to have so many teachers in JPS like these ten individuals who bring such joy, enthusiasm, and positivity to their classrooms every single day.
