National History Day© (NHD) is a non-profit education organization established in 1974, that provides educational programs helping students and teachers influence the future through discovery of the past. Their largest program is the National History Day Contest which is a year-long academic program focused on historical research, interpretation and creative expression for 6th- to 12th-grade students. The experience ends with a series of contests at the local and affiliate levels and an annual national competition in the nation’s capital in June.

The 2019-2020 historical theme is “Breaking Barriers in History.” Students select topics related the annual theme, examine the historical importance, and create a presentation. (Source: National History Day.)
