National History Day makes history come alive for America's youth by engaging them in the discovery of the historic, cultural and social experiences of the past. Through hands-on experiences and presentations, today's youth are better able to inform the present and shape the future. NHD inspires children through exciting competitions and transforms teaching through project-based curriculum and instruction. |

"Students have always told us how much they loved their NHD experience and how it has changed their life, both in their academics and their careers.History not only teaches students about the stories of our past, but is vital to creating a generation of young people who can apply these lessons to the future."
