Robert L. Sharp Health & Fitness Center

The Robert L. Sharp Center of Jenks High School serves as the weight room, locker room, meeting rooms, sports medicine headquarters, and essentially houses anything football related. The building is state of the art in every manner. The majority of it is maroon brick, while the rest is accented with tan stone. The roof is black metal. On the back side facing the field there is a massive, square stone with a carved Trojan head in the middle.

This building is important to me because football is almost entirely the reason that I left my private school in sixth grade. Jenks has a historic football program and I wanted nothing more than to be a part of all the stories I had heard growing up in Tulsa. The sport consumed my life from the time I became a part of ‘school ball’ in eighth grade. That being said, the Sharp Center was like a second home. There were plenty of times I slept there and even more instances in which I spent a solid 80% of my day there. My class had a very successful run playing for Jenks and I was blessed with the opportunity to play college ball on scholarship. The building is significant for me because a massive amount of my high school memories were made there or on the field it connects to.Robert L Sharp
