National History Day2005 marks the 25th anniversary of National History Day. Over 2,300 students from 48 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa and Department of Defense schools participated in 2005 National History Day at the University of Maryland on June 12-16. During the competition, students presented research addressing this year's theme, "Communication in History: The Key to Understanding." Four students from the Fontana Unified School District are national finalists for their individual and group entries.
National History Day is a year-long, nonprofit education program dedicated to improving the teaching and learning of history in elementary and secondary schools through publications and education programs. The program annually involves millions of people and makes history come alive for students across the United States. Through the program, students develop critical thinking and research skills by creating exhibits, performances, documentaries and papers they may enter in competitions at the district, state and national levels. A recent study by the University of Minnesota and Minnesota Historical Society reported 95 percent of students showed academic improvement on history-related assignments due to the introduction of National History Day.
