Forty-three students from the Paducah Public Schools have advanced to the Kentucky History Day / National History Day state competition at the University of Kentucky on April 21. The Kentucky History Day / National History Day theme for 2018 is “Conflict and Compromise in History.”

 

The National History Day organization offers year-long programs that engage over half a million elementary, middle, and high school students from around the world in conducting original, independent research on historical topics of interest. Students research topics of their choice, using primary and secondary resources. Students may compete in one of five categories: documentary, exhibit, paper, performance, or website. All competitors write process papers and compose annotated bibliographies. At all levels of competition, students present projects and are interviewed by a panel of judges.
