Support Hawai'i History Day

Each year Hawaiʻi History Day engages hundreds of middle and high school students and teachers from nearly 40 public, private, charter and home schools across the state.

We invite you to be a part of bringing the program to more schools on Oʻahu, Maui, Hawaiʻi, Kauaʻi and Molokaʻi; providing free curriculum and workshops to teachers; organizing district and state fairs; and furnishing travel scholarships for students to participate at state and national fairs.
