About

History Day is a highly regarded academic program for elementary and secondary school students. Each year students choose historical topics related to a theme and conduct extensive research analyzing the historical significance of their topic.

Students’ work is presented in a variety of forms and is entered for competition at the county level in hopes of advancing to the state and even national level.
