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 currently working at Tompkinsville Elementary School teaching 4th grade Reading.  Jack is a very busy 4 year old.
