Freshman Headed to Nationals for National History Day

National History Day is a project-based learning experience for students in Grades 6-12 that was founded right here in Cleveland in 1974. Its goal is to make the historical past relevant to the present for students by having them research a topic of their choosing that correlates with the competition’s yearly theme. Students learn critical thinking skills through finding and evaluating primary and secondary sources, conduct research, and present their findings in one of the five formats - apaper, exhibit, documentary, website or performance.
 
This past Saturday at the NHD state competition, Annie Solomon ’22 presented her exhibit, Henrietta Lacks – An Ethical Tragedy Resulting in a Medical Triumph. Annie placed second out of a field of more than 50 in the senior division individual exhibit category. She will now compete at the national competition held at the University of Maryland the week of June 9-13. Good luck at nationals, Annie!
