The National History Day 2015 contest wrapped up on June 18, in College Park, MD, after 58 middle and highs school students from around Colorado competed with great success. After exciting adventures (like a moonlight tour of the Capitals' monuments, meetings with Senators Bennet and Gardner, and a trip to Mt. Vernon) the students represented their state with pride.

In addition to the winners below, Mary Hood, from Sargent High School near Alamosa, was chosen to be the Colorado representative at an opening of The WWII National Museum in New Orleans, LA. She and a parent will be going on an all-expenses paid trip in December.
