Fellow and very thankful teacher Mrs. Keen said, “She is kind enough to let the journalism classes use both her computer labs! We appreciate her kindness!”  Gracie Musgrave said, “Mrs. Emery has a very fun but focused classroom environment and she has taught me so many things to use in my future.”

When asked to share some super fun facts about herself, Mrs. Emery stated she was a sprinter in her “younger days.” She ran 100m, 200m, and 400m. Her favorite was the 200m with her best time being 26.3 seconds. Mrs. Emery’s great grandmother was a teacher in a one room schoolhouse near Harmony, IL. Mrs. Emery credits her grandmother as her inspiration to be a teacher.
