National History Day Projects
Students with work in this category chose to participate using the National History Day guidelines. Students can compete by writing a paper, creating an exhibit or documentary, or developing a website or performance. They are able to choose any time period or figure in history as long as it fits the theme. Our Summits have done incredibly well at both the regional and state levels of competition!
