Congratulations to all the incredible students who competed at the regional level of Tennessee History Day! Your hard work and creativity were on full display, and we are so proud of the dedication each of you brought to your projects.

Regional contests are an important milestone in the History Day journey, and every participant should feel proud of the time, critical thinking, and perseverance required to reach this level. Thank you as well to the teachers, judges, families, and supporters who make this program possible.

Advancing participants and alternates should stay tuned for updates and important information regarding the upcoming State contest. We look forward to sharing next steps soon!

Due to recent winter weather across the region, Tennessee History Day regional registration for students has been extended to Friday, February 6. We know school closures and schedule disruptions can make deadlines challenging, and we hope this extension provides a little extra flexibility for students to submit their projects.

Please be sure all student registrations are completed by the new deadline. Thank you for your continued participation in Tennessee History Day, and most importantly, stay safe and warm!
