History Day is a national competition that Highwood Hills has participated in for nine years. Students are in the research phase right now and are learning everything they can about their topic. They also learn many research skills like note taking and using primary sources of information. They keep an annotated bibliography and arrange interviews. In the second phase students put together an exhibition of their research. The projects are due on March 2 and parents are invited to view the exhibits during spring conferences. Judges select the exhibits that went to the regional competition at Saint Paul College on March 18. At the competition students are questioned by several judges as they explain their research, process paper and exhibit. It's very exciting to watch as students become the experts on their selected individual.
