History Day in California, one of the largest state competitions, is held in 34 counties and reaches some 44,000 students each year. Constitutional Rights Foundation and the dedicated county coordinators and volunteer judges built the program from an original 10 counties into the exemplary competition it is today. History Day in California has made numerous contributions to the competition including pioneering the elementary student poster category and the web site category, which is now part of the national competition. Over the years, California students have performed very well at the national level, last year taking home eight medals, more than any other state.
The Fontana Unified School District is proud to have so
many students proceed to the State competition. Congratulations to all of the FUSD students who competed at
State History Day and best wishes to
Anthony Reyes, Carina De La Cueva, and Edith De La Cueva as they move on to compete at the 29th Annual National
History Day competition.
