History Day Awards

Maine's History Day is part of a national competition in which Middle and High School students submit projects based on a specific theme. This year's theme was "Breaking Barriers in History". The MSCC awards, which came with a certificate and $50 check, recognized excellence in projects that specifically explored women who broke barriers in history. Our own Anne Gass was one of the judges.

Here are our winners, with links to their projects:
