Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Teachers are the keepers of our future, and the champions of the curious minds who will carry our nation's story forward. This week, we celebrate every educator who inspires a love of history, service, and community in their students.

DAR has long believed that education is one of the most powerful ways to honor our founding legacy. Through scholarships, essay contests, and American history education programs, DAR members across the country work hand in hand with teachers and students to strengthen and support education in classrooms every day.

To every teacher out there, thank you. What you do matters more than words can say.
