National History Day is an academic competition focusing on history for students in grades 4-12, similar to a Science Fair but for history. Participation in NHD offers numerous benefits, including the development of research, critical thinking, and communication skills. Our teaching staff and specialists are here to support students and families in participating in this amazing educational opportunity. These events open opportunities to win awards, and gain a deep understanding of an area of history that interests and challenges students.
This Year’s NHD Theme:
- Theme: Rights & Responsibilities in History
- Students are invited to consider questions of time and place, cause and effect, change over time, and impact and significance.
- The key to this theme is addressing both rights and responsibilities. These are two powerful forces in history, but one does not work without the other.
- Please visit the National History Day website for inspiration on getting started.
