The spotlight shined bright at the Jenks Performing Arts Center on a Tuesday night as more than 150 Jenks High School students took the runway for the 27th annual Jenks Pom Fashion Show. With this year’s theme, “Living the Dream,” the showcase blended glamour, school spirit, and Trojan pride—both raising vital funds for the nationally recognized pom program and celebrating the latest trends in homecoming and prom fashion.
