On Saturday, March 7th, 40 students from CASD competed at the Regional History Day competition at Messiah College. They competed in Region 8, which is comprised of school districts from Dauphin, Cumberland, Adams, Franklin and York counties (one of the toughest regions in the state). Once again, students from CASD proved to be outstanding historians during the competition!
A total of 14 students will now advance to the State National History Day competition to be held right here at CHS on May 15th and 16th for a chance to compete and to secure a possible spot at the national competition in Washington, D.C. in June.
