National History Day
Sponsored by the West Chester BID, the Chester County Historical Society hosts the Southeastern PA National History Day (NHD) regional contest. NHD is a year-long academic program focused on historical research, interpretation, and creative expression for 6th to 12th-grade students. Each year, students create original research projects based on an annual theme. These projects move from the school level to regionals, states, and the national level. NHD is the “lab” component of the history classroom--engaging students as historians, teaching them critical thinking, problem-solving, research and reading skills, and public speaking. Now in its 30th year, the regional contest brings in over 300 students, teachers, and parents into downtown West Chester to visit CCHS on Friday, March 29th and Saturday, March 30th, 2019. For more information on National History Day, visit the Chester County Historical Society’s website. Contact Alaina McNaughton, CCHS's National History Day Coordinator, at nhdcoord@chestercohistorical.org. -----
