National History Day is not just a day, but every day! The National History Day program is a year-long education program that culminates in a national contest every June. For more than twenty-five years the National History Day program has promoted systemic educational reform related to the teaching and learning of history in America's schools. The combination of creativity and scholarship built into the NHD program anticipated current educational reforms, making National History Day a leading model of performance-based learning.

As a gifted student, I participated in National History Day for several years. It was an excellent experience because it encourages development of primary source research skills and allowed me to explore a topic at a depth that could not have been approached in the standard classroom. Once a display or other project is completed, I would be encouraged that the competition not be the end of the road. Local historical societies or museums are often very willing to display the work.
