History Day

2022 Wyoming History Day and National History Day competitions have been moved to online judging! 

For more information, see the Wyoming History Day and National History Day websites. 

 


Wyoming history is full of great research topics for History Day contest projects. To get the mental juices flowing, we have come up with some potential topics that fit with the 2021-2022 theme, Debate & Diplomacy in History: Successes, Failures, Consequences.

The National History Day program is a year-long education program that culminates in a national contest every June. Wyoming History Day, administered by the American Heritage Center, occurs every year in April.

National History Day engages students in grades 6-12 in the process of discovery and interpretation of historical topics. Students produce dramatic performances, imaginative exhibits, multimedia documentaries and research papers based on research related to an annual theme. These projects are then evaluated at local, state, and national competitions.
