NHD competition for participants in Missouri Region 9 takes place on the campus of Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau. Details of each year's contest schedule are updated as they become available.
Each year National History Day (NHD) uses a theme to provide a lens through which students can examine history. NHD is open to students in grades 6-12. The purpose of the competition is to encourage students to use critical thinking and research skills to make meaningful historical connections with a topic related to the annual theme.
The NHD 2022 theme is Debate & Diplomacy in History: Successes, Failures, Consequences. Students can choose topics from local, national, or world issues or events.
The 2023 History Day theme is Frontiers in History: People, Places and Ideas
