About Mrs. Emberton

After graduating from Monroe County High School in 1989, I attended Western Kentucky University.  I graduated in 1995 with a BA in Psychology and returned to WKU and earned a BS in Biology with teaching certification.  I began my teaching career in 1998 at Metcalfe County High School where I worked for eight years.  While there, I taught Biology, Introduction to Chemistry and Physics, Anatomy, AP Biology and Psychology.  In 2006, I took a position at Monroe County Middle School teaching 7th grade science.  I came to Monroe County High School in 2007 where I have taught Integrated Science, Biology, Earth & Space Science & AP Biology. I have worked as Falcon Academy assistant principal & counselor, head teacher at MCHS and I served as MCHS assistant principal from November 2014 to June 2019.  I am currently serving as MCHS principal.  I love working with students, parents, staff, Monroe County ATC and community members in order to make MCHS a successful school that prepares students for the future. 

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, quilting, sewing and traveling. I am married to Lane Emberton and we have two daughters, a son-in-law  and a grandson.  Ariel graduated from MCHS in 2016 and Campbellsville University in 2019.  She is currently employed with Brown & Brown Insurance in Columbia, KY and also works as a photographer & wedding coordinator.  Ellie graduated from MCHS in 2021 and from Campbellsville University in December of 2024.  She is married to Garrett Veach and is currently working at Tompkinsville Elementary School teaching 4th grade Reading. Garrett is a Journeyman Plumber with Veach's Plumbing and Jack is a very busy 4 year old.
