National History Day in South Carolina


National History Day is an educational program for students in grades 4-12.* Students research and develop topics related to an annual theme and present their conclusions in exhibits, performances, documentaries or historical papers.

* National History Day is divided into three divisions:

  • Senior Division: Grades 9-12
  • Junior Division: Grades 6-8
  • Youth Division: Grades 4-5 (offered only at the school level)

Three Rosenwald projects do well for South Carolina Students at National History Day
