History Day

History Day at Fugman Elementary School is a unique opportunity for 4th – 6th grade students to research and present personally meaningful topics relating to an annual National theme and to examine history in a fun and challenging way.  Student winners in each category (poster displays, exhibits, historical papers, websites, documentaries, and performances) may move onto the County competition in March.

2027 Contest Theme

Innovation in History: Impact, Influence, Change

The National History Day® 2027 theme is Innovation in History: Impact, Influence, Change. Innovation is about more than just new inventions or technologies—it also includes new ideas, methods, and ways of thinking that have shaped history. Historians examine not only what was created, but also why it mattered and how it changed people's lives.
