History Day Program
The Wyoming History Day Program is dedicated to promoting the study of history for Wyoming’s students. We believe that if students are allowed to pursue history on their own terms and with projects of their own choosing, they will acquire a greater appreciation for the subject. Through friendly competition, students will be able to develop critical thinking skills, research skills and use creative expression while building positive self-esteem. During 2006/07 our students were successful at every level in the History Day program. Their success was exhibited in many aspects of the program. After receiving a grade on their projects, students had the option of entering the local competition and continuing on to district and state competitions, if selected.
