About
History Day is a highly regarded academic program for elementary and secondary school students. Each year students choose historical topics related to a theme and conduct extensive research analyzing the historical significance of their topic.
Students’ work is presented in a variety of forms and is entered for competition at the county level in hopes of advancing to the state and even national level.
CCEE San Diego Involvement
The San Diego Center for Economic Education is proud to support History Day . Each year board members attend the countywide program interviewing students and judging entries. Cash awards are provided to students who include economics within their project.
Cash prizes are:
- 1st Place Senior Exhibit: $250
- 1st Place Junior Exhibit: $150
- 1st Place Posters: $50
To apply for the Economics Award students should complete the online registration form.
In addition, students should be sure to mark that they are applying for the award on their History Day application submitted to the San Diego County Office of Education. Mark the box “Outstanding Research, Analysis and Presentation of Economics.”
