Across the country, high school students participate in National History Day by submitting their independent research in this national competition. The theme this year is “Debate & Diplomacy in History: Successes, Failures, Consequences”. Students select their own topic, find the significance of their event in history and create a project in their chosen area: performance, documentary, research paper, exhibit or web site.
