“National History Day not only teaches students history content, but also important skills they will use in college and future careers,” said Mary Bezbatchenko, state coordinator for National History Day in Ohio at the Ohio Historical Society.
National History Day was originally sponsored by Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, in the 1970s. It has grown into a national event, which was recently awarded the prestigious 2011 National Humanities Medal by President Barack Obama at a White House ceremony, February 13. Dr. Cathy Gorn, executive director of NHD, accepted the award. Also present at the White House ceremony as a National History Day Trustee and past National Chairman, was Richard Prasse, current President of the Ohio Historical Society Board of Trustees.
National History Day in Ohio is co-sponsored by the Ohio Historical Society and funded in part by contributions from Cargill Deicing, Toledo Community Foundation, Porter Wright, the Junior League of Columbus, and Motorist Insurance Group Foundation.
