After choosing a historical topic related to an annual theme, we will do both a primary survey and a secondary survey. After analyzing and explaining your source and concluding the importance of your topic, you will be able to publish your work in one of five ways: paper, exhibition Meeting, performance, documentary or website. In the spring, you can incorporate your work into regional competitions, judged by professional educators and historians. If your work is chosen as one of the best jobs, you will participate in the state NHD competition. As the winner of the state NHD contest you are eligible to participate in the Kenneth E. Bering National History Day Contest held at the University of Maryland College Park in June. This is a conference and competition for the best National History Day project from America, American Samoa, Guam, Asian International School, and European Defense School.
