National History Day Contests finalists pictured from left to right: Escalante Middle School students Lucy Tanaka, Abigail Phelps, and Brooke Kandell.
The goal of the nationwide competition is to “study the past to inform the present and shape the future.”
The National Contest is the culmination of the annual competition cycle and a celebration of student scholarship. After spending months on project research and preparation, and successfully competing at local and affiliate contests, student scholars are invited to share their work at the National Contest.
