Her early years of education started at the historic Samuel Walker Houston Elementary, followed by her attendance at Scott Johnson Jr. High, and in September of 1965 Joreen made history.  She was one of the first 11 African-American students to integrate the segregated classrooms of Huntsville High School. After graduation, she was accepted into the Joe G. Davis School of Nursing, where she obtained her LVN and later her Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN). Her nursing goals did not stop there as she continued her journey to help heal others by applying and being accepted into The University of Texas at Arlington. While there her desire and determination to succeed, paved her way to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. After becoming a Registered Nurse (RN), she quickly began working in Huntsville and the surrounding areas lending not only aid but education to the community. In the years that passed, Joreen went on to acquire her teaching certification from Sam Houston State University. This decision led the Huntsville native back to her roots and in February of 1992, she officially returned to HHS, only this time as the school nurse. Two years later, she transitioned into the classroom, teaching the youth of Huntsville High School the fundamentals of nursing, heading a course titled Health Science Technology. In 2004, she started the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Pharmacy Tech Programs at HHS which resulted in hundreds of students graduating with their respective industry based certifications which helped set them up for success in both the workforce and in college. After a lengthy 28-year career with HISD, Joreen retired from teaching but never from HHS. She still remains a loyal and diehard Hornet even today as you can find her frequently in the classroom as a substitute teacher or in the nearest Hornet Nation ticket booth servicing the many HHS sporting events.
