Before Miss Door County Teen Mia Glocke gained the confidence needed to walk the Southern Door Auditorium stage last month, she had to find it in other facets of her high school life.

Glocke is heavily involved at Gibraltar High School, whether it’s acting in a one-act play, playing the trumpet in the band, or toeing the rubber in the circle for the softball team. Maintaining a healthy, positive mindset has been key to Glocke being successful in those arenas.

Her community service initiative that she will promote throughout the year is called “Mind Over Pressure: Prioritizing Mental Health in Schools – on Any Team, Stage, or Court.” She wants to help young girls know that it is OK to talk about the pressure they feel they are facing.

Glocke will join Miss Door County Kaylee Griep, Miss Cherryland Paige Nikodem, and Miss Cherryland Teen Elise Jackson as they travel across the county over the next year promoting their community service initiatives, which will be highlighted individually this week. The quartet also will compete in the Miss Wisconsin and Miss Wisconsin’s Teen competitions, scheduled for June 16-20, 2026, in New Berlin.
