Students in grades 9-12 will only be eligible to participate in the National History Day portion of the State Social Studies Fair. Middle School students will have a choice of participating in either the State Social Studies Fair or History Day but they cannot participate in both. For 2013-14 ONLY, middle school students do not have to compete at the local, county, or RESA level - they may come directly to the State History Day Competition. NOTE: The local and regional National History Day competitions will host ONLY exhibit projects for the 2013-2014 school year. Additional categories will be added in 2014-2015 and 2015-2016.
