She student taught at GBE in first grade with classroom teacher, Cindy Clyburn, and she was hired to teach third grade after graduating from Oklahoma Panhandle State University the following semester. Schroeder taught third grade for several years before moving to second grade where she worked until being promoted to the assistant principal position.
