Congratulations to our KIS State History Day contestants and winners! Nine projects and

research essays, interpretive displays, performances, documentaries and websites. Nationally,
700,000 students participate each year in activities leading up to The Kenneth E. Behring National
History Day, which will be held June 14-18, 2015, at the University of Maryland, College Park.
