Full results from the 2017 CHD State Contest can be found here.
Middle and high school students who placed within the top
two in their category are eligible to compete at the NHD Contest – with third
place finishers acting as alternates. The students were required to relate
their project to this year’s national theme: Taking a Stand in History.
CHD students may work individually or in groups within the five History Day
categories: Papers, Documentaries, Exhibits, Websites, and Performances. At the
end of the contest, the First Company Governor’s Foot Guard kicked-off the
Awards Ceremony with a rousing performance. CHD State Coordinator Rebecca
Taber-Conover and Education Commissioner Dr. Dianna Wentzell were on hand to present medals and awards. Additionally over twenty special prizes, sponsored by numerous
museums and non-profit organizations from across the state, were presented to
students.
Connecticut History Day is an affiliate program of National
History Day®. The program is led by the Connecticut Public Affairs Network
(CPAN) with support from the Connecticut State Department of Education,
Connecticut Council for the Social Studies, the Connecticut League of History
Organizations, Connecticut Explored Magazine, and ConnecticutHistory.org.
