Hundreds of students from over 30 schools in Southeastern Wisconsin participate each year, and only the top three groups in each category advance to the state event in Madison. Our Trowbridge students worked for months on their projects and were strong competitors in the competition. To compete, students were required to create a project, come up with an annotated bibliography, write a process paper, adhere to a strict set of rules, and answer questions asked by the judges. The students also had to create their topics around the theme of &#8220;Rights and Responsibilities.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">This was Trowbridge&#8217;s first attempt at competing in the National History Day competition, and they did an excellent job!
