Given’s retirement will be celebrated with an alumni performance at 7 pm on April 6 at Emmons Hall
After 30 years leading Mexico High School's theater department Sara Given will be retiring at the end of the 2023-24 school year. A retirement celebration and performance will be held at Emmons Hall featuring alumni from Given’s 30-year career at MHS.
Given joined the staff of Mexico High School in 1993 after graduating from Central Missouri State University. Given has been a part of nearly 60 musicals and plays, coached hundreds of Speech and Debate teams and founded the Something From Nothing Players, a children’s theater troupe, in 1999.
"Mrs. Sara Given has given so much to so many, this is our opportunity to celebrate her and to shine a spotlight on how her big heart and incredible energy helped shape us into the men & women we are today,” Kyle Benson-Smith, MHS class of 2007, said.
Alumni will be gathering to perform some of the many plays, readers theater and speech tournament pieces that Given directed and coached during her tenure.
The performance is open to the public and a suggested donation of $10 for adults and $5 for students will be used to create a scholarship fund for MHS seniors involved in the program.
