Results Announced for Kern County History Day

Students from schools across Kern County competed in the 40th annual Kern County History Day on Saturday, March 4. Individuals or groups with the highest scores in each category are now eligible to participate in California History Day, April 15-16 at Sacramento State. Those who win at state become eligible to advance to National History Day.

Research for the county event had been going on since the beginning of the school year as students prepared historical papers, exhibits, performances, documentaries, and websites around this year’s theme: Frontiers in History: People, Places, Ideas.
