National History Day Competition

The National History Day Competition is a series of contests in which students compete to demonstrate their ability as historians. Originally, started within the United States this international competition culminates each year when the top 3,000 students in the world gather in June at the University of Maryland near Washington, DC in week-long event.

This year the 8th grade students of Colegio Maya spent months on project research and preparation as individuals or teams in the Exhibit and Documentary categories. During the in-school competition on Dec. 4th 2015 students presented a wide variety of topics from the History of the Panama Canal and the Opium Wars to Cancer Treatments and The U. S. Olympic Dream Team.

The 14 winners and runner-ups from each category qualified for the Central American Regional Competition at Marroquin University on April 29th. From this event Maya student Beatriz Pallas qualified to compete and represent Colegio Maya in the top international competition. We would like to wish her the best of luck this summer as well as recognize the 8th grade and their parents for all their effort and participation in this year’s NHD competition.
