Jenifer students have won many regional, national and international awards.  A complete web site is set up for access to the major programs available.  In any given year, more than $100,000 is awarded through these projects.
 

The school's gifted program offers many special activities throughout the year, including preparation for the PSAT, all of the national and state mathematics contests, and special scholarships.  The gifted program advocates a "revolving door" philosophy that allows students to work with the school's facilitator on special topics throughout the year or for a selected period of time.
 

The Jenifer Mathcounts program is one of the most successful in Idaho.  State champions in 1998 and 2005, Jenifer has placed among the top 4 teams for 7 of the last 8 years.  Participation is by invitation only and requires successful completion of a set of selection examinations.  Students are nominated each spring by teachers to participate in the Mathcounts talent search.  Selected 7th and 8th graders receive special training in algebra and geometry and work from August through March of the school year.
 

Students at Jenifer regularly travel on well-supervised educational field trips, many of which are based on special topic such as the history of Lewiston. Teacher develop interesting activities to accompany the visitations to various sites.
