Advanced American History

Introduction to National History Day!  NHD is an extensive research project, where you will have the opportunity to select a topic of your choice that relates to a theme, research the context and topic utilizing a variety of primary and secondary sources, build an historical argument, and create a website, paper, documentary, performance or museum style exhibit.

Every year, over a half million students from around the country participate in NHD.  Regardless of your future plans, NHD will benefit you by making you a better researcher, reader, writer, and a more complex thinker.  Also, should you choose to enter competitions with your project, you may have the opportunity to meet and compete with students from around the region, state and country.  See the following sites for more details:
