Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History

Programs like NHD help develop the tools [youth] need to question, listen, and make character-driven decisions. National History Day is a great incentive for our students, motivating them to develop their projects through research and dedication. Lynn Chavez, NHD Teacher, Delta Junction
