FUSD Students Display History Day Projects

Winning projects from nearly every school in the Fontana Unified School District will be on display at the District's History Day Public Viewing on Saturday, January 27. 

The Fontana Unified History Day event will showcase creative and original products. Individual schools recently judged entries for competition at the County level.  The top entries for students in grades 4-12 will represent the District in a competition sponsored by the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools where students compete for the opportunity to advance to state level competition.  Fontana Unified has an impressive track record of outstanding entries in grades 6-12 selected to represent the State of California at the National History Day competition which is held annually in Baltimore, Maryland.

History Day is a performance based academic endeavor that fully supports the California History-Social Science Framework and History-Social Science Content Standards.  History Day is a long-term project dedicated to improving the teaching and learning of history in elementary and secondary schools. A major goal of the program is to make history come alive for students.  Through participation students develop critical thinking and research skills by creating scholarly exhibits, performances, documentaries, web pages and papers for competitive judging. This year students are presenting research addressing the National History Day theme, “Triumph and Tragedy in History.”

Winning student entries will be available for public viewing from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in the multipurpose room at Ruble Middle School, 6762 Juniper Avenue.
