National History Day (NHD)

The Society for History Education is proud to feature spectacular scholarship from teachers and students. Every November, The History Teacher publishes the winning student papers from the Junior and Senior divisions of the National History Day Contest.

Millions of elementary and secondary school students have participated in NHD by conducting historical research on thoughtful annual themes and presenting their findings through papers, exhibits, performances, documentary films, and websites.

The annual competition culminates at the National History Day Contest, held at the University of Maryland, College Park. Learn more at www.nhd.org.
