WHAT IS HISTORY DAY LA?

History Day L.A. is part of a national program that encourages students to prepare posters, exhibits, papers, websites, performances, and documentary presentations on a historical theme. These projects will be judged by community members and social science professionals. Participation in History Day L.A. provides opportunities for students to meet content standards and improve academic achievement. As an authentic performance assessment measure, teachers can utilize History Day projects to easily assess the knowledge and skills of their students

HISTORY DAY LA IS NOT JUST A DAY,

IT'S AN EXPERIENCE

Be a part of it!

1) Be a JUDGE -- the number of participants continues to grow, so we need judges more than ever this year! We guarantee that the experience will be extremely rewarding! The enthusiasm of the students is infectious; and their knowledge, remarkable. A deep knowledge of history is not required; the students will teach you! Click here to learn more

2) SPONSOR a "special award." -- Unfortunately, not every entrant will go on to compete at the next level (History Day CA or National History Day). But you can help reward students for the long hours they have spent creating their projects by offering a "special award" for a particular achievement or topic. Example awards: "Best Use of Oral History," "Best Use of Primary Sources" or "Best Historical Project on the History of Los Angeles." Awards can be made as low as $100 (cash, gifts, gift certificates, etc.) and will be presented during the award ceremony that follows the competition. Attendance at the Award Ceremony ranges from 700-1000 students, teachers and parents). Sponsors will also be listed in the Award Program and on the website. Click here to learn more.
