Congratulations to all our 8th graders for all their hard work and perseverance on their National History Day projects! Led by Julie Watts, History Teacher, students participated in the San Diego County competition and we are excited to share that we have a group of students eligible to move on to the state competition in Sacramento on April 15-16, 2023.
National History Day, is a year-long educational program that encourages students to explore local, state, national, and world history. After selecting a historical topic that relates to an annual theme, students conduct extensive research by using libraries, archives, museums, and oral history interviews. They analyze and interpret their findings, draw conclusions about their topics’ significance in history, and create final projects that present their work. These projects can be entered into a series of competitions, from the local to the national level, where they are evaluated by historians and educators.
Please congratulate our San Diego County winners and our champions who will advance to the state competition! See a full list of competition winners here
