This is what we should be highlighting in education not the violence in school. This event is something these kids will never forget. NHD is not just a day, but an experience that truly lasts a lifetime. Since 1974, National History Day has grown from a Cleveland, Ohio competition with about 100 students to a national education program. It is funded by Cargill, The History Channel, and other corporations, foundations, and individuals.
Judges are university professors, high school teachers, museum curators and other public historians.
We will be happy to put you or your staff in contact with your local NHD coordinator, who can arrange for interviews and photo opportunities.
