EUP Regional Michigan History Day 2022 Winners

The Eastern Upper Peninsula’s Regional History Day competition was held virtually the week of March 7^th.    The regional event adhered to the standards outlined in the National History Day program, and winners will have the opportunity to compete at the state-level competition which will also be held virtually.  The results of that contest will be announced during a virtual awards ceremony.  The event will be recorded and posted on the Michigan History Day website. 

In our region, students in grades 7-12 participated.  We had a total of 3 entries presented by 8 students. Participants conducted research related to an annual theme and presented their findings in one of five categories: exhibits, documentaries, performances, papers, and websites.  It is our hope that the students enhanced their historical inquiry, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills through participation in this event.

Results are as follows:  

Exhibit Category

Junior Division (6^th-8^th Grade)

1^st place (Individual) – Cole Kiczenski – DeTour Area Schools

Senior Division (9^th-12^th)

1^st place (Group) – Ty Norris, Hunter Kuusinen, Sophia DePaul, Calvin Mccloskey – DeTour Area Schools

2^nd place (Group) – Alyssa Yiirs, Cameran McGowan, Maddison Fox – Pickford Public Schools

All winners were awarded a certificate and a ribbon.
