Welcome

Welcome to my classroom, NVHS students and families! Throughout the year, I will communicate regularly through our Google classroom, email, and Student/Parent VUE. I encourage you to contact me at karreen.ghena@threerivers.k12.or.us any time if you have any questions or concerns. Let's have an amazing year together!

Here's a little about me:

This is my sixth year teaching at North Valley High School! I'm a 2007 graduate of NVHS myself, and attended Rogue Community College and Southern Oregon University, where I earned a Masters of Arts in Teaching. Prior to my teaching career, I worked for Three Rivers School District as an administrative assistant from 2014-2017, and worked at North Valley High School as the registrar back in 2012-2014. I am well ingrained in the Three Rivers community and I'm so glad to be at the best school in the district!

I am married to my husband Justin of 10 years, and we have a one-year old daughter, Magnolia, and a daughter who passed away at birth 2.5 years ago, Laurel. We have two lovable Labrador retrievers (Link and Ghost). I love coffee (like...REALLY REALLY LOVE COFFEE), books, and music. When I'm not grading papers, I enjoy cooking, playing with my dogs, traveling, attending concerts, writing, and of course, reading!
