Pursuing Excellence

Congratulations to the Winners of CDMS NHD Competition!

This year’s theme is

“The Individual in History: Actions and Legacies.”

Eighth grade students will research a person from American history whose actions have left a lasting impact on our country’s history. T

he project is more than just a bibliography. While their background is important because it often influences their actions and decisions, the important focus of the project should be to address the effect the person had on history.
