Information
What is
History Day?
History Day is a program that promotes interest in history
among middle school and high school students. Through History Day,
students develop skills in historical research and presentation by designing an
exhibit, writing a paper, producing a documentary, or creating a performance
based on an annual theme. Students present these projects in
competitions at the district, state and national levels. For more
information about History Day, check out the "What
is National History Day?" page on the National
History Day website.
