Congratulations to our students who recently participated in the National History Day competition at the Heinz History Center.
National History Day (NHD) challenges students to think critically, conduct in-depth research, and present their learning in creative and meaningful ways. This year, our students delivered thoughtful, high-quality projects across multiple categories.
We’re proud to share that several students earned top honors and will advance to the state competition this April.
