Student enrollment is nearly 1,900 in grades9-12, from the school's neighborhood attendance district, as well as from elsewhere in Chatham County through the Honors Academy for Academic Excellence.
Jenkins operates on a block schedule in which students take four courses over one semester, and four other courses over the next semester.
Senior students are eligible for the Joint Enrollment Program which partners with Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah Technical College, and Savannah State University. Joint Enrollment students take college core courses with free tuition. In addition, Jenkins offers AP courses, honors/advanced courses, and Project Lead the Way courses. PLTW was a program designed to instill technological learning into schools. The program was briefly interrupted during the 2006–07 school year, but was reinstated and continues to serve as the engineering-related school of the Savannah-Chatham County School System.
Honors Academy for Academic Excellence and Engineering Academy
The primary focus of this program is to provide higher-level courses to advanced students. Any student in Chatham County who meets program criteria is eligible to enroll at Jenkins.[citation needed]
History
The school is named for the late, local philanthropist Herschel Vespasian Jenkins.[citation needed]
Jenkins was named a Blue Ribbon School in 1997 and a School of Excellence in 1998.[citation needed]
Beginning in the summer of 2019, the first of several phases to replace the school building in its entirety began. The new facility opened in August 2021. Hussey, Gay, Bell served as the design team for the project.[2]
