Sunrise Staff
Every member of the Sunrise staff treats our students with care and respect. We focus on inspiring students as we help them achieve academic and personal excellence. Sunrise features some of the best teachers, staff, and volunteers in the state of Arizona! We truly have great people. We know you’ll agree that good communication between the school and the parents improves the overall education and development of our kids. We invite you to get to know the Sunrise teachers and support staff. We think they’re great—and you will too.
