OUR IMPACT

NHD opens the door for students to learn and study history! It lights the fire of story in the hearts of students, engaging students in the storytelling of history!

–Jennifer Coleman, Luella High School Teacher

In 2024, more than 22,000 students, teachers, and volunteers participated in our National History Day Georgia program—a hands-on, project-based curriculum designed to improve how teachers teach and students learn about history and civics. Past NHD Georgia students have placed in the top five nationally, earned scholarships, and had their work featured at the Smithsonian. Opportunities made possible by National History Day.
