She later joined the staff at Southwood High School in 1970, the year they opened. She worked there for over 30 years and her health is what forced her to retire.

Over the years, Mrs. J. became close to a lot of students and their families, she called them "her adopted children". She assisted with the Silver Spurs Dance Line and the Cheerleaders. She would never miss a sporting event, dance or beauty pageant for her adopted children. She would often bake brownies and bring in cakes for staff and students.
