Sarah Buchheit is the sole theater teacher at Union High School and Middle School. Her passion for teaching the art of theater is now in its 20th year. She dedicates long hours working with students who create productions with their own hands. Early mornings and late evenings are spent learning technical skills, prop making and practicing lines in Mrs. Buchheit’s classes and on stage. Her students cherish her knack for teaching this craft, many of whom have written heartfelt thank-you notes that hang in her classroom.
