For those of us who love history, Montgomery County History Day is a chance to hear students cheering for it!  It’s a sound that the MCHS staff never tires of hearing and which always astounds us.  Each year MCHS hosts Montgomery County History Day, which is the local competition for National History Day. The 32 winning projects go on to the Maryland History Day competition.

In addition to hosting the county competition, MCHS staff serve as advisors to the participating schools, offer workshops on research and creating projects for students and are available as mentors to students who have gone on to the state and national competitions.

For more information, to become a participating school or to schedule a workshop, please contact Elizabeth Otey at (301) 340-2825 or eotey@montgomeryhistory.org.
