National History Day is a program that teaches middle- and high-school students to engage with history. This year's theme is Conflict and Compromise in History. The Philadelphia regional competitions (NHD/Philly) will be held at the National Constitution Center March 12 (6th to 8th grades) and March 13 (9th to 12th grades). PACSCL and its member institutions support NHD/Philly by welcoming young researchers and by financial support for a team to advance to the state competitions. For additional information, see:

(Volunteer judges are warmly welcomed, too. You need not be a trained historian -- a love of history and an appreciation of the enthusiasms of young learners are all that's required. See the nhdphilly.org website for more details.)
