Meet Mrs. Hunter

I'm a 1991 graduate of Emmaus High School as is my husband. We were in Advanced Placement United States History together our senior year and have been married twenty-nine years. Ironically, two classes I teach, I also had as a student, American Studies II Honors and AP US History.

At Albright College in 1995 I earned my B.A. in History as well as my secondary education certification in social studies.  Five years later I earned my M.A. in History from East Stroudsburg University, while teaching in the Poconos. I wrote my thesis on The Salem Witchcraft Trials.   I began my teaching career at Strousburg Junior High School (SJHS) until 2003 when I joined the Emmaus High School (EHS) faculty.  

During my teaching career I have served as a yearbook advisor, newspaper advisor, softball coach, peer mediation advisor, and as a cooperating teacher for student teachers for several colleges. I've also been a member of Report Cards Committee, Use of Time Committee, Accreditation for Growth, and Curriculum Committee. Additionally, I was trained for the Student Assistance Program Team (SAP) in 1997 and served on the SJHS SAP team until I came to EHS.  I then served on the EHS SAP team for twelve years until the 2016-2017 school year due to scheduling. In 2018 I became a Gifted Support Teacher, which was an easy transition since I have worked with Gifted students and their parents my entire teaching career. Due to the social studies numbers for the 2023-24 school year I resumed teaching six classes and no longer had the Gifted Support duty.  This school year marks my 30th year of teaching.

My family and I live in the East Penn School District along with our sons, one who is a 2020 EHS graduate and 2024 West Chester University graduate and the other is an EHS senior.   My husband and I are passionate about domestic and international travel.  We recently returned from our 30th anniversary trip to the UK and Ireland.  I also enjoy tennis, swimming, biking, kayaking, and photography.  Additionally, I am on the Shelter House Board of Directors and we volunteer/foster for the Brookline Labrador Retriever Rescue.  We've had Labrador Retrievers for 27 years and currently have two black Labs.
