8th grade students shined during our first History Day Showcase with thoughtful, impressive projects that highlighted their historical knowledge and analytical thinking. Student work was displayed throughout the school, giving families the opportunity to see creativity, insight, and dedication on full display. We couldn’t be more proud of our students and the success of this inaugural event!
