Mr. Jourgensen – Adviser

Now in his fifth year as Newspaper Adviser, Mr. Jourgensen is proud to be posting content from our award-winning journalism program on foresthilltalon.com. What he’s most excited about is providing the school and its community with timely and relevant student news.

Originally from Colorado, Mr. Jourgensen moved to Florida as a child. He is a product of the very school district which he now teaches in. He studied Communications at Florida Atlantic University where he also served as an editor for the University Press newspaper and website. In addition, Mr. Jourgensen worked as a journalist, for the Palm Beach Post, Sun-Sentinel, WXEL radio, and MTV News.

Having won both the Sun-Sentinel Journalism Adviser of the Year award and the My Teacher, My Hero Educational Visionary Award he has great expectations for this website and continuing a tradition of excellence in student journalism here at Forest Hill.
