National History Day in Massachusetts

Our #NHDMA online exhibition commemorating #Juneteenth is still live! These extraordinary student projects explore topics related to African American history, culture, achievement, and freedom. #sschat #NHD #MHS1791 masshist.org/masshistoryday…

@NationalHistory Congratulations to our incredible Bedford student, who was a top ten finalist at Nationals for her individual documentary!

"Going through the process of this project taught me valuable skills in research, critical thinking, and editing, which I anticipate will be useful and applicable to later projects I complete in my life.” Learn more about 2024 documentary finalist Amelie: thebedfordcitizen.org/2024/06/bhs-en…

@NationalHistory Congrats to our Needham students on their amazing project, which was the inaugural recipient of the Northeastern Uni Ted Landsmark "Good Trouble" Award!

"They are really smart & their work shows it. They’ve chosen a challenging & difficult subject to research & produced a thoughtful project that addresses health, social equity & race in ways that show they’re going to be strong advocates in the future." buff.ly/3K0R8Xf
