Faculty Spotlight: Ms. Morgan Brasch

At West Catholic Preparatory High School, being part of the community means becoming part of a family. For Ms. Morgan, Athletic Trainer and Assistant Director of Athletics, that sense of family is both professional and personal.

A graduate of Salisbury University with a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training, Ms. Morgan plays an important role in the daily lives of West Catholic Prep’s student-athletes. From football, cheer, and volleyball to track, boys’ and girls’ basketball, and flag football, she is there throughout the year to help athletes stay healthy, recover, and get back to doing what they love. But for Ms. Morgan, her role at West is about more than athletics.

“It feels like a family when you walk in the doors,” she says.

It is that close-knit atmosphere that she believes makes West Catholic special, a community where students and adults alike are invested in one another’s success.

“The family-like experience where the community wants to see you succeed,” she says, is what makes West stand apart.

That philosophy carries over into the advice she shares with West’s student-athletes. While wins, championships, grades, and individual accomplishments are important, Ms. Morgan wants students to remember that who they become along the way matters just as much.

“Take care of your teammates and classmates. Success isn't just about being the best player or getting the best grades; it's also about the person you are to others.”

Ms. Morgan’s connection to West also extends well beyond her own time working at the school. Her father’s side of the family attended West Catholic, giving her a family history with the school that stretches back generations. Among those family memories is one story her grandmother still shares. During her time at West Catholic, she couldn’t walk up the school’s famous marble steps until she was a senior, a tradition she remembers to this day.

Now, generations later, Ms. Morgan walks those same halls while creating a West story of her own. Her athletic background also gives her something in common with the students she serves. Before becoming an athletic trainer, Ms. Morgan was a college athlete herself, playing soccer during her college years.

Today, she is thankful for the people who make her experience at West so meaningful, including Jazz, Jamaine, the coaches, Maureen, Cynthia, Dom, Maurice, Sister Elizabeth and, above all, the student-athletes she has the privilege of supporting.

Whether she is caring for an athlete after a difficult play, standing on the sidelines during a game, or offering encouragement away from competition, Ms. Morgan has become an important part of the West Catholic Prep athletic community. Her story is also a reminder of what makes West special: generations of families, students, faculty and staff connected by a community that genuinely wants to see one another succeed. For Ms. Morgan, West isn’t simply where she works. It’s family.
