A message from Connecticut State Coordinator, Rebecca Taber-Conover...

Welcome back to Connecticut History Day! We are excited for another year working with you and your students.
 
Connecticut students do amazing things. Last year at the 2018 National Contest, CT students achieved amazing results.

• Mia Porcello from St. Timothy’s School in West Hartford won First Place, Junior Individual Exhibit.

• Andrew Maglio from Sedgwick Middle School in West Hartford won Third Place, Junior Individual Documentary
• Andre Mead, Brooks Barry, Liv Bobby, and Sebastian Zuba from Pequot Home School in Southport won the Native American History Prize
• Jason Chiu-Skow, Jordan Chiu-Skow, Johann Kobetitsch, and Lyah Muktavaram from Bedford Middle School in Westport won the Outstanding Connecticut Entry Award, Junior Division
• Shea Curran and Katheryn Enquist from Staples High School in Westport won the Outstanding Connecticut Entry, Senior Division
• Meredith Griegel from Rochambeau Middle School – Region 15 in Southbury was a finalist in the Junior Individual Exhibit category
• Hannah Robinson from Nathan Hale-Ray Middle School in East Haddam was a finalist in the Junior Individual Website category

As you know, Connecticut History Day is about a lot more than just winning a contest.   Over 5,000 students throughout the state create a History Day Project.  Students gain immensely from their participation developing vital critical thinking and research skills that will assist them as they move forward in life—in college, careers, and in citizenship.
 
We look forward to seeing the amazing projects students create this year!

Sincerely,
Rebecca
