What is National History Day?
The National History Day (NHD) programs changes the way you learn about history. You will do the work of a historian as you choose your own topic, analyze it's significance by relating it to an annual theme, and presenting your analysis through a project. This year's theme, "Taking a Stand in History" encourages students to choose a topic that interests them, from local to world history. The program includes a competition where you are invited to compete for an opportunity to represent Sonoma County at the state level of NHD.
