Westminster Students Moving on to State in National History Day Competition

During the last week of February many Westminster students worked feverishly to finish up their entries into the National History Day competition. This year's theme was "Debate and Diplomacy in History: Successes, Failures, and Consequences." Students were allowed to choose from several categories of projects ranging from research papers and presentations, to documentaries, website design, or even a student scripted performance. The grade 7 and 8 students presented their works before their peers and these truly were impressive. 

After presenting, the students submitted their work to the regional contest. The following students won their regional competition and are moving on to the state contest. Congratulations, Wildcats!
