137 high school students took the year-long academic program known as “National History Day” to the next level through a partnership with the University of Arizona. Students learned to do what historians do when they engage in research. They engaged in, questioned, interpreted historical data as they worked on their International Baccalaureate® (IB) research.

Working with the U of A helped these young scholars to go outside the walls of their classroom and beyond the covers of their textbook and discover their community. They were able to push past the view of history as mere facts and dates and drill down into historical content to develop perspective and understanding. This tremendous project empowered students within their research projects and will continue to do so in their future research as undergraduate students.
