Northeast Georgia National History Day

2027 Regional Contest

Students in grades 6-12 in northeast Georgia are invited to compete in the Northeast Georgia National History Day Regional Contest, which takes place annually in February at the University of Georgia. Winners will advance to the state-level contest hosted by LaGrange College in April, and may then be selected to advance to the national competition hosted by the University of Maryland in College Park, MD.

National History Day (NHD) actively engages middle and high school students in a historical research program in which they examine past events, think critically about their significance, and communicate and defend a well-researched argument.

NHD equips students with college- and career-ready skills of collaboration, research, writing, and innovative thinking that come from the study of history and civics. An independent study confirmed (Opens in a new window) that students who participate in NHD outperform their peers in ways that extend beyond the classroom and the competition.
