2023/2024 National History Day Theme: Turning Points in History
Each year's theme is designed to assist student in considering a topic from any aspect of local, regional, national, or world history. With this focus, students can begin asking questions that their research will help them answer, including how their topic is significant in history. Through competition, students build their research, writing, and presentation skills. Students can also choose the mode of project presentation that best interests them, whether it be through writing a paper, building an exhibit, developing a website, filming a documentary, or through crafting a performance.
Northeast District 2 competition is November 30, 2023, at the Lincoln Memroial University Harrogate campus. Registration opens on October 2, 2023, and closes on October 27, 2023.
