National History Day

Based on an annual theme, students conduct in-depth research on any topic that interests them that connects to the theme. After analyzing primary and secondary sources, students create final projects which include a documentary, a research paper, a performance, an exhibit or a website. Students compete at the regional level against peers throughout the state. Those who qualify can advance to the state, and ultimately national competitions. NHD is a very rewarding experience despite all the work, and will prepare students for future success no matter what path they choose.
