Katie competed in the southwest Missouri regional contest of History Day this past Saturday. This is the fourth year that she entered a paper in the “senior papers” category.
Each year, the students with the top three papers in the region are invited to attend SW MO History Day. Those three students are also invited to enter their papers in the statewide History Day contest. I think there are nine regions in Missouri, and the top six papers in the state are invited to Columbia to compete. Of those, #1 goes on to Nationals and #2 is an alternate.
In the past three years, Katie’s paper has been #1 in the SW MO region, and she has scored #6, #4, and #3 in the state. On Saturday, Katie’s paper on Prudence Crandall received 1st place in the region, and she will submit it to State. We hope she will do very well at State, but regardless of what happens there, she has made a clean sweep of SW MO four years in a row!
There are probably some students who are VERY glad that Katie is graduating this year. . . = )
