“Upon the subject of education … I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people may be engaged in.”
— Abraham Lincoln
Door County holds a special place in all of our hearts. We all love it here. We love it because of the art, the natural beauty and the history, but we also love it because of the people who inhabit this peninsula – our neighbors, our friends, our community – the people who find a way to collectively take care of each other and this place.
Each year our editorial staff assembles article and topic ideas for how we can best honor our philanthropic community: those who give of themselves to make our home, Door County, a better place.
This year we chose to focus on the people and organizations that educate our community. We tell the stories of those who have inspired our community to do better, to reach higher and to grow.
It is an honor to be surrounded by such generous people. It is also an honor to serve the Door County community.
Thanks for reading.
