Spotlight on Massachusetts History Day
Why Massachusetts Students and Teachers Value NHD
"National History Day was exactly what we needed in Lynn. NHD makes history matter to kids while ticking off all the boxes on the Common Core state standards, 21st century skills, state and national standards. But NHD goes far beyond these standards and measures of achievement on tests: it made history real, meaningful and personal for students."
“National History Day taught me that with hard work, anything can be achieved. The experience of competing at Nationals was an amazing one that I will never forget; from the competition itself to the bonds created with people from across the country, every aspect of this journey was wonderful.”
"I learned just about everything I needed to succeed in college from National History Day—how to do real research, time management, and much more!"
