National History Day

The AHS National History Day team is a nationally AWARD-WINNING team of dedicated young historians, and scholars.  

In the News:  3 AHS historians are attending NHD Nationals with their statewide award winning documentaries!  GO PATS!

We are diving into primary and secondary historical sources to conduct in-depth analysis of important historical events, people, places, inventions, ideas and movements.  

The 2027 theme is:  Innovation

Students submit their work in late February and begin competing in March at Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, VA.  Themes are released in June for the following year's competition.  This allows researchers ample time to research, write, annotate, and theorize.  Most students begin their research in Summer or Early Fall.

  Would you like to join us next year?

Come see Ms. H Newman, National History Day sponsor in the library during Patriot Period.  Draft yourself for National History Day.
