Dr. Butterfield Congratulates Jenks High School Class Of 2020 Seniors in the Jenks High School Class of 2020, Graduation represents an opportunity to reflect and acknowledge your accomplishments, as well as the people who have contributed to your success in reaching this significant milestone. These individuals include parents and grandparents, brothers and sisters, other family members, teachers and paraprofessionals, administrative assistants, coaches, principals, faith leaders, and friends. To everyone, thank you for your support of these outstanding seniors! Graduation for the Class of 2020 around the country is certainly a unique experience. No one envisioned your senior year unfolding as it has since March. The world looks different. It’s possible your plans after graduation may still be evolving. Despite any fear, frustrations, or sadness you may experience with this pandemic, there are tremendous opportunities ahead of you to learn, share your exceptional talents, persevere, and ultimately, achieve your dreams. Remember, as history is written, the Jenks High School Class of 2020 will always have a unique story to share. On behalf of the administrators, teachers, and staff members at Jenks Public Schools, congratulations to all of you and best wishes! Sincerely, Dr. Stacey Butterfield Superintendent
To my Senior Thespians, The past two years have been wonderful. Thank you for welcoming us to this amazing group. I wish you all well in your journey, and I will miss you beyond words! - Elliot Whitworth

Kristen Johnson
Congratulations!
Maleah loved attending Jenks High School. Her favorite memories were participating in Game Day Cheer and all the friendships she's made since coming to Jenks. She was a member of the Jenks Varsity Cheer team and a part of the 2019 Class 6A State Championship Cheer Team. Maleah will attend The University of Tulsa this fall. She plans to major in Psychology (Pre-Med track) and minor in Spanish and Biomedical Engineering. She's been accepted to both the Honors Program and the Presidential Leaders Fellowship. Reign Cane! Maleah, be fearlessly authentic and a true version of yourself. Live life intentionally everyday with your goals in mind, but don’t forget to be present in the moment and focus on what matters now. You’ve already overcome so much. Trust in yourself to be able to handle whatever challenges may come your way. Go follow your dreams and take on the world! We love you! Dad, Mom, Steve, and Jared

Mayor Lee Addresses Jenks High School Class Of 2020 When I think about 2020, two words come to mind: “Unfortunate” and “Uncertain.” Unfortunate is an understatement. In the midst of a global pandemic, schools have closed. You, the graduating class of 2020, have had to finish your high school career separated from your friends, teachers, and teammates. You’ve missed the prom. You’ve had to forgo your high school graduation— the rite of passage that every graduating class before you was able to enjoy. 2020 has been uncertain, and we can expect it to stay that way. We don’t know how long the virus will stick around. We don’t know when a vaccine will be available. We don’t know when the economy will bounce back, when public events will resume as normal, or when schools will open again. Whether you’re beginning college next year or joining the workforce (or both), it’s not clear what either of those will look like. You’re entering into an unfortunate and uncertain world, and I am so grateful to have you in it. That’s because you are needed. There’s no one I’d rather have in this situation than a group of young adults who have just finished their studies in the state’s best school system. You’ve spent the past several years learning from the best and brightest about science, math, history, and the arts. If you’re an athlete, you’ve trained at the highest levels, accomplishing big goals as part of a team. You, the class of 2020, are uniquely equipped to tackle our problems in the next chapter in your life. And with the flip side of uncertainty being opportunity, you are uniquely positioned to forge a bright future for yourself while you work on the world’s most pressing problems. Eighteen years ago, I was in your shoes. A few months prior to my high school graduation, the attacks of September 11 had changed the world. It was unclear what the extent of the change would be, but we were right in assuming the world would never be the same. Five years later, months after I graduated college, the economy crashed. I lost my job. I had no choice but to quickly acquire new skills that formed the basis of the career I have now. It was in this environment that the world as we know it was created. There was a revolution in the way we do business, travel, and interact with each other. The tools that have helped us respond to the current crisis (online commerce and delivery, smart phones, video conferencing, social networks, to name a few) wouldn’t be available without the advances that were made in the shadow of the crises that came before. It is often through adversity that we do our best work. It focuses the mind on what is most important, on the solutions that are most needed, and on the best ways to get to those solutions. You’ve been through a lot this year, and it’s helped to prepare you for this moment in history. I look forward to building a better future alongside you, even if we’re six feet apart for now. Sincerely, Robert Lee Mayor, City of Jenks
