What is the National History Day Program? Each year more than a half million students participate nationwide. Students choose a historical topic related to the annual theme, and then conduct research using primary and secondary sources. After analyzing and interpreting their sources, students draw conclusions about the significance of their topic. Students present their work in one of five formats: paper, exhibit, performance, documentary, or website. In the spring, students may enter their work into local NHD contests where they will be judged by educators and members of the community. If the student’s work is chosen as one of the best at the local contest, they will move on to the State Contest. As a winner at the State Contest, students are invited to the Kenneth E. Behring National History Day Contest at the University of Maryland, College Park, MD. The skills that students learn along the way with National History Day last a lifetime!
