 Kansas
History Day
History Day is actually a yearlong learning opportunity for students
in grades six through twelve. This nationwide history education program
offers teachers practical models for integrating history standards in
the classroom.
 Sponsored
by the Kansas Historical Society, History Day encourages students to
study history and exercise their critical thinking skills. Thousands
of Kansas students have participated in the local, state, and National
History Day competitions. Find out more about this year's state
contest and theme.
NOTE: The History Day contests for 2009 will require online registration
in order to participate at the district, state, or national level. Instructions
for this online registration will be available shortly. Links to the
registration websites will be available as soon as the district contest
registration has opened.
