EDMONTON, Ky. – Metcalfe County Schools announced a new principal on Thursday.

According to a release, Paige Crowe has been named principal of Metcalfe County Elementary School.

Crowe’s appointment will be effective on July 1, 2026.

“I’ve spent my time at the high school seeing exactly where our students finish their journey, and that experience has given me a deep appreciation for the foundation that is built at MCES. This position will allow me to be a part of that foundation. I’m deeply invested in our district and community’s goals for our school system, and I am eager to apply my leadership at the elementary level to ensure our students start strong, stay on track, and develop a love for lifelong learning long before they reach the high school doors,” said Crowe.

Crowe is a 1997 graduate of Taylor County High School and a former teacher in Monroe and Russell Counties.

Interim Principal Jamie Howard will continue in his role through June 30. Howard assumed the role after Michael Gill retired on Oct. 1, 2025.
