Victoria Stafford Online Editor For the first part of my freshman year, I was unable to recognize the mysterious “Mrs. Mecham” -- she was already on a first name basis with every student. Without a doubt, Mitzi is a breath of fresh air. Like many of her colleagues, Mitzi is genuinely dedicated to her teaching and clearly devoted to her students, taking the time to care for every single one. But what I admire most about Mitzi is her undeniable passion for theater and her ability to incite in her students an excitement to learn and delve into the fine arts. This year, I was fortunate to be recognized as Utah’s Sterling Scholar in the Theater, Drama and Forensics category; truly, had it not been for Mitzi’s guidance, I would have never dreamed to fall in love with the theater arts and achieve such an honor. Her dedication during these times is especially impressive; shortly after she had to visit the hospital due to a slip on icy stairs this winter, she was back to teaching and directing not one, but two plays for long hours after school.
