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!

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
