NMGS Sponsors 2012 National History Day in New Mexico
National History Day is a year-long educational program that engages students in grades 6 through 12 in the process of discovery and interpretation of historical topics. Students produce dramatic performances, imaginative exhibits, multimedia documentaries, research papers, and web sites based on research related to an annual theme. These projects are then evaluated at local, state, and national competitions.
New Mexico History Day is part of National History Day and is sponsored by the New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities and the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs. Public, private, and home schools are welcome to participate. The competition in New Mexico begins at a local or district level and progresses to state and national competitions. New Mexico state finals will be held Friday, April 27, 2012 at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque.
As a commitment to education in New Mexico, community involvement, and the pursuit of developing a love of history in future generations, The New Mexico Genealogical Society and its generous donors currently award five $100 prizes in the following categories:
