This competition continued until 1969. For a list of winners of this competition, click here . In 1971 the program was revised to be a competition in American history and was shifted to the winter. In 1973, it was revised again and the testing schedule was shifted to the fall. The Present Competition begins every fall in high schools around the state.
Schools can enter as many or as few students as they wish.
The multiple choice test, on all aspects of American History, has 80 questions. There is no cost to a school to enter. Information on the competition is sent to schools in early fall. If you are interested or do not receive the contest information, contact Dr. Marvin Fletcher , contest director.
