Jenks Middle School Honors Orchestra is an orchestra that is optional for all Jenks Middle School orchestra students. It's called an "honors" orchestra because it's designed for those who are doing well in orchestra and are looking for a little extra challenge and outlet for their playing. There is no audition requirement, so any 7th or 8th grader (and advanced 6th grader) can join.

JMSHO is an orchestra that meets from 6:00 to 7:30 pm on 10 Tuesdays in the fall (9/30, 10/7, 10/14, 10/21, 10/28, 11/4, 11/11, 11/18, 12/2, and 12/9). JMSHO students will perform at the High School Orchestra Concert on December 16th at the JHS PAC at 7pm.
