About Oregon History Day

Saturday, April 22, 2017, is Oregon History Day<http://ohs.org/education/oregon-history-day/index.cfm>! On this day, middle and high school children from across Oregon will come to Portland to proudly present their history projects to judges, peers, families, and teachers. The event takes place at Concordia University.

Over the course of the year, students will complete historical research on a project that reflects the annual National History Day theme (this year, the theme is "Taking a Stand in History"). They will then either work individually or as a group to present their research either through an exhibit, paper, documentary, performance, or website.

Become an Oregon History Day Judge!

At the state contest, judges attend an orientation and training from 8am - 9am, and will then interview students from approximately 9am - 1pm. The interviews are conducted by a panel of three judges. The Awards Ceremony is an optional event in the afternoon. Judges receive snacks and lunch - and lots of inspiration from the students!

Oregon History Day is filled with nervous and excited students who learn from you, the judge, how to revise and strengthen their work. It's a tremendous learning experience for the students.
If you'd like to judge, or volunteer in another capacity, know of someone who may be interested in judging, or have any questions about the contest please email Kristen.Pilgrim at ohs.org<mailto:Kristen.Pilgrim at ohs.org>.
