The East Meadow School District is proud to announce that W.T. Clarke Middle School eighth grader Jahane Abidi has advanced to the National History Day’s 2025 National Contest.
Jahane competed in the state’s competition at SUNY Oneonta on April 27. National History Day is a nonprofit education organization that aims to improve the teaching and learning of history. In this competition, students in grades 6-12 choose a topic and dive deeply into the past by conducting extensive research in libraries, archives and museums. Afterward, they present their conclusions and evidence through papers, exhibits, performances, documentaries or websites, moving through a series of contest levels where they are evaluated by professional historians and educators.
The national competition will take place at the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland, from June 8-12. The district commends Jahane and wishes her the best of luck in the national contest.
