Who Can Participate?

Students
The National History Day program is open to all students in grades 6-12. All types of students participate in NHD—public, private, parochial and home-school students; urban, suburban and rural students; gifted students and students with special needs. Read about a home-school participant's experience.

Teachers
Teachers are the backbone of the NHD program. They serve as mentors for students and are encouraged to integrate the NHD program into their classroom curriculum. Teachers also benefit from resource materials, workshops and the opportunity for professional development through NHD.

Parents
The support of parents is one of the most important factors in the success of students participating in NHD. Parents who encourage and facilitate students in their History Day journey often benefit as much from the process as do their children.
