Flashback 100: Legacy Program Provided Start for Pioneering NBA Official Schroeder

April 23, 2025

A standout basketball player in high school and college, Jenna Schroeder is making a name for herself in professional basketball. As an official.

Schroeder started officiating basketball games while a student at Clio High School. When her playing days at Saginaw Valley State University were over, she began officiating college games, eventually working in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big East and Atlantic 10. She also officiated WNBA and G League games before getting the call to work NBA games in 2019 – becoming just the sixth woman to do so.

She remains Clio’s all-time leading scorer, with 1,430 career points, and finished ninth in the 2003 Miss Basketball Award voting. She played collegiately at Oakland University and SVSU – averaging more than 14 points per game for the Cardinals.

At Clio, she participated in the MHSAA’s Officials Legacy Program, which allows high school students to learn  officiating under the guidance, supervision and mentorship of a veteran MHSAA official. Schroeder was mentored by Keith Richardson.

For more information on becoming a registered official or the Legacy Program, visit the MHSAA’s Officials page.
