Local winners are eligible to participate in the regional History Day, and those winners move on to the state program.
National History Day in Missouri (NHDMO) is a yearlong history education program, sponsored by The State Historical Society of Missouri, in partnership with the Missouri Humanities Council. The program encourages young people to explore history and teaches them to understand historical issues, ideas, people and events.
Participants conduct in-depth research and analysis on individual topics related to an annual theme and present their findings in one of several formats -- exhibit, performance, documentary, website, or paper -- designed to foster creativity and imagination. These presentations are evaluated by history, education, and other experts at a series of local, state, and national contests.
