National History Day is an academic program focused on historical research, interpretation and creative expression. By participating in NHD, students become writers, filmmakers, web designers, playwrights and artists as they create unique contemporary expressions of history. The experience culminates in a series of contests at the local levels and an annual national competition in the nation's capitol in June.
Students will be eligible for an Atkins High School Varsity letter if they place high enough in the regional tournament to move on to the state level AND participate in the state level competition.
