Our four National History Day National Qualifiers have been making the most of their time in Washington, DC! In just the first two days of their six-day trip, students have explored iconic landmarks such as the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and other historic sites throughout the nation's capital. They even had the opportunity to help retire a flag at the Jefferson Memorial.
Students have also spent time exploring Smithsonian museums and other historical sites, bringing the history they've studied to life. One of the most memorable experiences was hearing directly from Holocaust survivors and learning from their powerful personal stories.
Good luck to our four qualifiers as they present their NHD projects for judging today! Competition results will be announced at Thursday's awards ceremony.
