The Dr. Mark O. Hagenbuch Living History Scholarship Fund

The Dr. Mark O. Hagenbuch Living History Scholarship Fund provides financial support to graduates of Northern York County High School in Dillsburg, PA who have a passion for history and are pursuing higher education. Dr. Hagenbuch served as principal of Northern and South Mountain Elementary Schools from 1987-2008. He believed that the best way to understand the past is to experience it firsthand. Historical reenacting, genealogy, and vexillology were part of his life’s work as an educator and community leader. One of Dr. Hagenbuch’s favorite quotes was by the great educator and abolitionist Horace Mann, who said, “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.”
