What's My Why: Official Jenna Schroeder
September 9, 2026
Jenna Schroeder, Berkley
Jenna Schroeder has been an NBA referee since 2020 and previously worked in the NBA-G League. Prior to officiating, she played basketball at Oakland University and Saginaw Valley State University.
She was an MHSAA-registered basketball official in 2003-04, 2005-06, and then from 2010-18, and also officiated girls lacrosse for four seasons. She's Clio's all-time leading girls basketball scorer and participated in the MHSAA Officials Legacy Program.
I got into it because I played basketball my entire life. I graduated college in 2009, during the housing crisis and no job prospects, so I tried refereeing and got bit by the bug and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since then.
“What’s My Why” is a weekly feature telling the stories of MHSAA-registered officials in their own words. If you’re an MHSAA official and would like to share your reason why, please submit a 15 to 45-second video, taken horizontally, to director of officials Sam Davis at [email protected].
