Regional Contests
Regional History Day Contests
Arkansas is divided into seven National History Day regions, each with its own regional coordinator. Regional Coordinators work with the State Coordinator to assist teachers whose students are participating in History Day. Regional Coordinators can help set up field trips to academic libraries or archives within a region. The Regional Coordinators also host a regional History Day competition each spring.
