National History Day

By Kandice Kimmel, Latin & History, 5th-8th Grade

The seventh and eighth grade history students competed in the National History Day Contest at Texas A&M University-Texarkana last week. The NHD theme this year was ‘Rights & Responsibilities in History’. Each student chose interesting, diverse, and thought-provoking topics, conducted in-depth research, created exhibit boards, wrote a process paper, and presented to college history professors and students with respect and confidence. I am proud of each and every one of these students!

Congratulations, Elliot, for placing third in the individual exhibit category with her ‘Fast Fashion & Child Labor’ exhibit and Hattie and Rivers for placing first in the group exhibit category with their presentation about the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Well done, ladies!
