Faculty Friday

Mrs. Megan Burnham teaches a variety of subjects to our 7th-12th grades. Mrs. Burnham is back full-time this school year after taking time out of the classroom to be with her own children. She took a few minutes to answer a few questions so we could get to know her better.

1. Tell us about your salvation experience.
I made a profession of faith when I was about 7 years old. However, I never really had peace about where I would spend eternity. In 1999 (the age of 13), after battling pride for years ,the Lord once again spoke to my heart during a teen activity. I finally asked the Lord to save me. I jokingly say it is the only good thing that has ever came out of a UT/Florida football game.

2. How many years have you been at MPCA?
This year will be my 3rd year teaching at MPCA. I taught second grade in 2008-2009, part time 2012-2013 and I am looking forward to being back full time this school year!

3. Tell us about your family.
I have been married to Scott since 2007. We have two beautiful children - Eli James (9/30/09) and Brianna Robyn (4/24/11).

4. What is your favorite Bible verse?
Psalm 27:14

5. Why did you choose to become a teacher?
I can remember teaching my stuffed animals their alphabet when I was just starting kindergarten. I have never wanted to be anything other than a teacher. I  surrendered to serve in full-time ministry in 2004 and I am so honored that God has called me to be a Christian school teacher.

6. What is your favorite hobby outside of school?
I love taking pictures and doing anything with my family!

7. What is your favorite candy bar or dessert?
Snickers are my weakness. As far as desserts, I love Butterfinger Pie.

8. What is your favorite smart phone app or computer program?
My iPhone is never far from my side! My top 3 apps would have to be Pinterest, Instagram and of course Facebook.

9. Where do you attend church?
I attend Mount Pisgah Baptist Church in Oliver Springs.

10. What would you like to tell your upcoming students?
I am so excited about this school year. I love that I am going to be able to teach a few new classes that I think the students will enjoy. Be prepared to learn and have fun in the process!
