Kylie Farmer (9) and Alexis Parker (11) participated in the SCCPSS All-City Chorus. This event brought together Chorus students from across the district to practice for two days and later perform the music learned. Due to several circumstances, Jenkins was the only high school represented. We are very proud of how Kylie and Alexis carried themselves among many elementary and middle school students. They stepped up and led by example.

Herschel V. Jenkins DECA AND FBLA clubs, joined Woodsville Tompkins and Pulaski K8, to volunteer with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Gamma Sigma Omega Chapter and Curtis V Cooper Primary Health Care Inc. in the Miles for Mammogram Fundraiser.
