Congratulations to our KIS State History Day contestants and winners! Nine projects and
twelve students from our school represented Windward District on Saturday, April 25, 2015 at
Windward Community College for the 25th Annual Hawaii History Day State Fair.
This year's National History Day theme is Leadership and Legacy in history. Over 8,000 students,
grades 4-12, statewide, participated in the History Day project this school year. They developed
research essays, interpretive displays, performances, documentaries and websites. Nationally,
700,000 students participate each year in activities leading up to The Kenneth E. Behring National
History Day, which will be held June 14-18, 2015, at the University of Maryland, College Park.
The following three projects and five students have the opportunity to represent our state at this
year's National History Day.

performance. Project Title: Senator Daniel Akaka: Leading the Way for the Apology Resolution and
