There will be no school in the Jenkins Independent School District on Friday, January 30th due to hazardous secondary road conditions. This will be a traditional snow day.
Four years. Four winning seasons. One goal. ⚔️🥎
We are so proud of the sustained success the Lady Cavs have shown under Coach Joe Banks. From a strong 17-win start in 2022 to last year’s gritty 15-8 finish with big District victories, this program has proven it knows how to win.
Every year has been a stepping stone, and as we head into 2026, the momentum is at an all-time high. With our seasoned vets and some exciting youthful talent ready to ignite, this is the year to watch!
Let's get behind our Girls and Coach Banks as they chase greatness. GO CAVS!

🏰 Honoring our Past, Lighting our Future: The New Look of Jenkins! ⚔️
There is a new energy at Jenkins Middle High School! We believe that Building School Culture starts with creating an environment where our students and alumni feel a deep sense of pride the moment they walk through the door!
✨ A New Glow: Our brand-new Lighting System doesn't just brighten the gym; it sets the stage for every big play and unforgettable memory on Whitney Creech Court.
🏀 Dynamic Gym Graphics: The Castle has never looked sharper. Our new graphics reflect the championship standard we strive for every day.
🏆 The "Wall of Fame": We are officially enshrining our legends. This new dedicated space celebrates the individuals who built the Jenkins legacy, ensuring their stories inspire the next generation.
📜 Logo Throwback Wall: A nod to our roots! This wall showcases the evolution of our Cavalier pride over the decades—a perfect spot for alumni to find the logo they wore with pride.
🎟️ New Lobby Marquee: First impressions matter! Our new digital marquee in the lobby will keep everyone up to date on games, events, and student achievements in real-time.
These upgrades aren’t just about paint and lights—they are about Aesthetics with Purpose. We want our current students to feel like they are part of something elite, and we want our alumni to walk in and know that their alma mater is thriving.
