This is an annual regional competition that encourages middle and high school students to conduct creative, in-depth research on historical topics. The program fosters critical thinking and historical literacy by challenging students to explore a specific annual theme, with top regional performers advancing to state and national levels of competition. This year's theme was Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History.
