Hello! I’m Dr. Jennifer Mroczko and I teach Business/Computer Technology courses at WHS.
Back a Few Decades to My High School Days: I am a 1993 graduate of White Mountains Regional High School. While in high school, I enjoyed being a member of the concert band playing clarinet, FBLA where I qualified for Nationals, and National Honor Society. I loved traveling to various locations on band, club, and educational trips. In addition, I attended the Summer Youth Music School at UNH. I was selected for NH All-State Band and was also part of the Sound of America Honor Band and Chorus European Concert Tour. These days, my involvement continues as an honorary member and volunteer judge for the NH FCCLA and VT FBLA state competitions.

I also completed the New Hampshire Certified Public Manager Program.
My Work Experience: My professional background includes over 20 years of extensive information systems (IT) and business management consulting in both the private and public sectors with projects for the Department of Defense (DoD), state and city governments, healthcare and financial companies. My varied responsibilities have spanned business analysis, software/report development and design, testing/quality assurance, technical writing, training, and project management.
