This annual competition consistently delivers excitement and pride for Paterson every year, and we must encourage this same level of enthusiasm in our classrooms each and every day said State District Superintendent Dr. Donnie Evans. For the past two decades, Paterson has secured its reputation as a district that performs exceptionally well at National History Day competitions. We are proud of our students outstanding achievement and we look forward to the State Competition. Eastside students Grace Lugo and Amanda Rankine are two-time competition winners (2011 and 2012) and this year they won for their history project: Rock and Roll - A Cultural Revolution.

Kennedy Academies, PS #7, Rosa L. Parks Fine & Performing Arts, and International High School competed in this rigorous academic competition which revolves around various opportunities for project based learning. Students prepared annotated bibliographies, interviewed experts on their topic, and constructed exhibits, websites, documentaries and performances which reflected the depth of their research and demonstrated analytical skills and understanding.
