What is National History Day in Missouri?National History Day in Missouri, launched in 1980, is the state affiliate of National History Day. Each year, nearly half a million students nationwide—grades 6 to 12—participate in this innovative educational program.
They conduct extensive research on a historical subject that they choose and present findings their way by creating documentaries, exhibits, papers, performances or websites, all while meeting Missouri Learning Standards. The State Historical Society of Missouri administers National History Day in Missouri. Thousands of students participate in the program each year, with nearly 3,000 competing in regional contests throughout Missouri and 600 advancing to the state contest, held at the University of Missouri in April. Top winners in each category earn the opportunity to serve as Missouri delegates to the National History Day Contest in College Park, Maryland in June. ![]() Missouri's students represent the Show-Me State well, frequently bringing home medals in both the junior and senior divisions, being part of the National Endowment for the Humanities' Breakfast on the Hill, and showcasing their work at the National Museum of American History and the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
