Discover the Past. Tell Its Story. Make History Come Alive!
History Day is an interdisciplinary program that challenges students in Grades 4–12 to become historical detectives. Students research a topic connected to an annual historical theme and share their discoveries through exhibits, posters, performances, websites or documentaries.
Along the way, students develop valuable skills in research, critical thinking, writing, creativity, communication, and presentation. Students and coaches are welcome to join! Whether you love history, enjoy researching new ideas, or want to bring the past to life through art, performance, or film, History Day has a place for you.
