Before you get bogged down with too much work I want you to consider participating in National History Day. It’s a great time and good academic experience. There’s also the possibility of awards (i.e. money) and travel in it for you!
National History Day gives monetary awards in addition to medals to the top three national winners in each category.
* Gold medalists receive $1,000
* Silver medalists receive $500
* Bronze medalists receive $250
National History Day also recognizes one Outstanding State Entry from each state in the junior and senior divisions. Besides these awards there is a number of individual category prizes up for grabs.
*The gold medal winning projects in the senior division individual and group documentary categories receive The History Channel Award of $5,000 in place of the National History Day $1,000 prize.
Girls’ High has NEVER had a delegation enter the competition. Be a pioneer and leave a legacy here at Girls' by being a part of the first team. After seeing the competition, I think that you girls have the potential to dominate.
Check out the websites below for more information, but for a brief idea of what its about think science fair atmosphere with a history focus.
