Wecome to History Day 2009-2010

Innovation in History: Impact and Change

Grisham Middle School is the only middle school in RRISD to offer students the outstanding academic / indpendent study opportunity of National History Day. Learning the components of research and project development, participating in our campus History Day Event, potentially representatin our school at the Cen-Tex History Day, Texas State History Day and even the National History Day, is a fabulous learning adventure for students.

Please connect frequently with your student to on topic selection, project choices and research progress. This will be an ongoing converstation in our classroom. In school time will be spent learning the "how-to" aspects of a project of this scope. Research, writing and creation will take place at home.

There are essential links to the LJB Library / Cen-Tex History Day, The Texas State History Day and National History Day sites on the History Day Links page.
