PEOPLE Lake County has no shortage of notable people in the community, from public servants and educators to performers and entertainers.

Residents can count on a plethora of first responders who are ready to go above and beyond to help those in need.

Firefighters and police officers among the first on the scene, ready to offer aid in difficult situations.

Young residents can receive a quality education from preschool to the 12th grade, thanks to the many local school districts.

While several teachers go beyond the curriculum to make a positive impact on their students’ education, coaches continue the excellence outside of the classroom,

some volunteering their time to coach different schools.

There is no limit to the impact of local organizations who serve the community at large as well as special focus areas, thanks to volunteers’ hard work.

With many churches in the area, religious groups often stretch beyond the confines of their buildings and work to better the community through outreach.

Music groups and individual performers have a wide selection of venues to choose from throughout the county.

Depending on the occasion, local music lovers can enjoy live performances that span musical genres from jazz and choral arrangements to funk and punk rock.
