Some of our GHS National History Day students had the opportunity to meet with Representative Dusty Johnson at the US Capitol on Wednesday. Here they were given a lot of information on what our Senators and Representative do at the federal level. Following our meeting, students were then given the opportunity to see our federal government in action by taking a tour of the capitol itself!
This week, a group of our Garretson students is representing our school and state at the National History Day competition in Washington, DC! While they’re there to present the incredible research projects they’ve worked so hard on, they’re also getting the unique opportunity to experience American history and government in action. These first couple of days have included experiences like walking the halls of the Smithsonian museums, visiting with Holocaust survivors, visiting iconic landmarks at the National Mall. Our students are witnessing the history and civics they’ve studied all year long. Wish them the best of luck today as both groups present their projects one last time before the awards ceremony on Thursday!
