Michigan History Day

Michigan History Day offers a fascinating opportunity to move social science beyond rote learning. Students perform self-directed research on an individually chosen topic. They then present their work through the allied disciplines of art, literature, music, drama, visual communications, and writing. Participants are encouraged to expand and improve their work between each state of competition.

Michigan History Day and its district and state competitions are part of the National History Day (NHD) competition. State finalists go on to the national competition held in College Park, Maryland in June.

Students participating in the Michigan History Day program are shown to boost their school performance and job skills. Read more about how the program helps students in Michigan.
