Students from Thomas County Middle School have been working diligently throughout the school year to complete National History Day projects using the theme “Triumph and Tragedy in History.” National History Day is a year-long academic program focused on historical research, interpretation and creative expression for sixth- to 12th-grade students. By participating in NHD, students become writers, filmmakers, web designers, playwrights, and artists as they create unique contemporary expressions of history according to the National History Day website (www.nhd.org).
