Carroll students prepare for History Day competition | The Locally Times

Carroll County students in grades 6-12 will compete on February 28, 2026, exploring 'Revolution, Reaction, and Reform in History.'

A snow date is scheduled for Saturday, March 7, 2026. The competition required registration by December 23, 2025, and was open to students in grades 6 through 12. Students submitted their projects by January 30, 2026. Projects can take the form of papers, exhibits, performances, documentaries, or websites, with junior and senior divisions for grades 6-8 and 9-12 respectively. Winners from the county competition may advance to the Maryland History Day on May 2, 2026, and subsequently to the National History Day from June 14-18, 2026. Carroll County Public Schools records do not specify the budget allocation for the History Day program or how these funds support student participants. The records also do not detail the criteria for selecting competition judges or how the school system measures the program's long-term impact on students beyond academic recognition.
