NOTICE: NHD is no longer using weebly.com for website building. Until the new platform is ready, use power point to build your website. Then you can copy/paste into new platform.
Dear Friends of National History Day®, National History Day’s fastest growing contest category, websites, recently came under threat of elimination when our relationship with Weebly, which for 10 years provided our website creation platform, abruptly ended this spring. Thankfully, the NHD Board of Trustees agreed with my conviction that we cannot let down the tens of thousands of students who participate in our most dynamic and accessible category, despite the addition of a significant cost to the NHD annual budget. Thus, our contest team is working with a developer to design our own website creation platform that will be ready for students to use by November 1, 2019. Here’s the catch. This platform is expensive. The cost for its design, development, and maintenance over the coming year alone is $150,000. To meet that price, we need your help. Please help us Preserve the Website Category! Make a Donation Today Your contribution will allow upwards of 100,000 students around the world to participate in our annual contest via our new website building platform and reap the enduring benefits that NHD provides. Please join us in this effort and share this email with friends and colleagues. National History Day cannot preserve and grow the website category without you. Thank you, in advance, for your support.

This site is designed to provide information for students, teacher, parents, and others interested in the History Day program. Portions of this site have been adapted, with permission from the Washington State History Day website. What is History Day? History Day is a year long learning opportunity for students in grades six through twelve, that offers students the opportunity to explore topics that interests them. They conduct research, using primary and secondary resources, and then analyze the information, in light of an over-arching historical theme or question. For teachers it offers practical models for integrating Common Core standards in the classroom that improves test scores on reading, math, and science assessments and prepares students for college level work. See the KHD brochure for additional information. 2012 Washington State History Day Preview Video This program is possible by the efforts of dedicated volunteers and generous donors.
