National History Day honors

TheCabin.net ·· Going the extra mile 07/01/08: "When the bell rings at the end of the school day, most students rush home to take a break from seven straight hours of learning, but there are some who go home to learn even more.

Students who compete in History Day competitions, whether it's on the local, state or national level, spend months and months dreaming up their project, bringing it to life and then perfecting it.
Three students in the Conway School District once again got pretty close to perfection this year.

For the second time, a team from Conway High School-East placed fourth in the nation in the National History Day competition, which is the current record for the district, according to William Richardson, history teacher at Conway High School-East."

There is also an article that lists all of the students' names and some of the topics they presented. http://www.thecabin.net/stories/070108/loc_0701080005.shtml
