Welcome New Teachers

We are excited to introduce our new teachers to Sunrise! Read about and see each new staff member!


Middle School Strength Class/Ag Class: Mr. McBride

I graduated from Farmington High School. I have lived in the US, Germany, and England. I played college baseball at Longview College in Lee’s Summit, MO and obtained an Associate’s in education from Mineral Area College, and a Bachelor’s in English Education from Missouri Baptist. I enjoy playing sports, video games, and guitar. My wife, Ashley, and I have been married since 2018. We have a 1-year-old daughter named Aria, and a Shih Tzu/Poodle named Louie.


Librarian: Mrs. Morfeld

I’ve lived in Jefferson County my entire life. I grew up in Pevely, graduated from Herculaneum High School, and obtained an associate degree from Jefferson College in 1991. Then, I got married and had children. Haha! 
I’ve been married to my husband for 31 years. We have two adult daughters (ages 30 and 22). 

I substitute taught for many years before becoming the librarian assistant at Festus Middle School. I went back to school in 2016 to get my bachelors degree and K-12 LMS certification. 

My hobbies include reading, sewing & crafts of all kinds, cooking & baking,  being a dog mom, and tending to my 7 hens. 

I’m excited to a part of the Sunrise team!
