CHS National History Day
National History Day is an educational program devoted to the learning of history. Last fall, students
chose a topic related to the annual theme (“Triumph and Tragedy”). and conducted extensive research
using both primary and secondary sources. After analyzing and drawing conclusions about their
topics’ significance in history, they presented their work in an original project. The district contest
was held March 1st at Chadron State College and on April 6th, the state competition was held in
Lincoln.
