About

The National History Day Club was inspired by the National History Day Competition (NHD), which occurs every year in the Spring and Summer through the regional, state, and national levels. NHD is a history competition that challenges students with new prompts yearly to develop research projects in individual or group essays, skits, exhibitions, websites, or documentaries. Because the annual prompts by the National History Day Competition invite students to explore a wide variety of topics, the NHD Club will provide Northern Valley students with the opportunity to explore history beyond the bounds of a regular classroom curriculum and to greater depths. Our club aims to make the research process and project creation easier and more enjoyable by providing an accessible platform of resources and peer review with friends. Club meetings every two weeks to once a month depending on the competition's progress, giving students time to receive feedback from other members and helping more students be successful at the regional, state, or national competitions in the spring. 

We wanted to create a club that encourages more students to participate in this enriching competition, and create a tightly-knit community in which students interested in history have a space to meet each other and make life-long memories and friendships!
